MANILA, Philippines, September 1, 2025 – POCO, a leading brand for young technology enthusiasts, officially launched the POCO C85 on August 30. Staying true to the POCO C Series DNA, the new device is built for reliability, style, and everyday performance—empowering users with technology that fits their lifestyle, whether for communication, entertainment, or self-expression.
Modern Design with Natural Aesthetics
The POCO C85 is a perfect blend of practicality and visual appeal. Inspired by the aurora, its segmented back design plays with light and color, adding a premium look with a glossy glass finish and volcanic deco pattern. Despite packing a massive 6000mAh (typ) battery, the device remains slim, featuring a 3D quad-curved back for a comfortable, secure grip.
The phone boasts a 6.9-inch HD+ display that enhances gaming, streaming, and browsing. With a 120Hz AdaptiveSync refresh rate, it automatically switches between 60Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz depending on usage. Certified by TÜV Rheinland for eye protection, the display reduces blue light, minimizes flicker, and supports DC dimming for comfortable long-term use. It also includes Wet Touch Technology 2.0, keeping the screen responsive even with damp fingers.
Power That Lasts
Equipped with a 6000mAh high-density battery, the POCO C85 is designed for endurance—retaining 80% or more of its capacity even after 1,000 charge cycles. Users can enjoy up to 22 hours of video playback, 82 hours of music, or 20 hours of reading. With 33W fast charging, the device reaches 50% in just 31 minutes, while 10W reverse charging transforms it into a backup power bank for other gadgets.
Reliable Performance for Everyday Use
At its core, the POCO C85 runs on the MediaTek Helio G81-Ultra, balancing power efficiency and performance. It offers up to 16GB RAM with memory extension and supports up to 1TB expandable storage, giving users flexibility for multitasking and media storage. Running on Xiaomi HyperOS 2, the phone provides a smooth experience with advanced tools like Circle to Search with Google, Google Gemini, and Xiaomi Interconnectivity features.
The 50MP main camera captures sharp, true-to-life photos, while the 8MP selfie camera with beauty mode ensures fun and vibrant self-portraits. Practical additions such as a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 3.5mm headphone jack, 200% volume boost, and an IP64 dust- and water-resistance rating make the device even more versatile.
