Poco has expanded its C series in India with the new Poco C85 5G. The phone targets budget buyers who prefer large screens and long battery life. The device blends a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, a 6,000mAh battery, and a 6.9-inch HD+ display.
Poco C85 starts at Rs. 12,499 for the 4GB + 128GB variant. The 6GB model costs Rs. 13,499 while the 8GB variant tops at Rs. 14,499. Introductory prices reduce the first two models by Rs. 500 each. Users can buy the device through Flipkart, Poco’s e-store, and retail channels. Bank discounts and exchange offers are also available.
The smartphone features a bright 6.9-inch HD+ screen. The panel offers a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 810 nits peak brightness. The display carries TÜV Rheinland low-blue-light certification and flicker-free technology. The chassis also earns an IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance.
Performance is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset. The octa-core chipset pairs with up to 8GB LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. HyperOS 2.2, based on Android 15, runs the software stack. The phone supports virtual RAM expansion for occasional heavy multitasking.
Photography centers on a 50MP primary camera backed by a QVGA auxiliary sensor. An 8MP front camera handles selfies and video calls. Connectivity covers 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.4, USB-C, and a 3.5mm audio jack. A side-mounted fingerprint sensor provides quick security.
Battery life stands out. A 6,000mAh battery supports 33W wired fast charging and 10W wired reverse charging. Poco claims long endurance that suits heavy multimedia use and extended standby. The phone thickness measures around 7.99mm with a dual-tone finish.
Color options include Mystic Purple, Spring Green, and Power Black. Launch offers include bank discounts, exchange benefits, and no-cost EMI options. Poco C85 aims to undercut rivals by offering a large display and an extended battery at a competitive price.
Bottom line: Poco C85 5G targets budget-conscious users who want large screens and multi-day battery life. The MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset and 120Hz display bring modern features into the entry-level segment. Availability opens this month across major channels.
