The main feature of the Realme C85 Pro will be a 7,000 mAh battery with silicon-carbon technology, which the company claims can last up to two days without recharging. The smartphone also supports 45W fast charging. Judging by the brand’s previous models, you can expect around 10-12 hours of active screen time, depending on the load.
Although exact thickness and weight details are yet to be disclosed, Realme claims that even with such a capacious battery, the smartphone won’t be bulky. The device is expected to retain a comfortable format and feel in the hand.
Realme has also paid attention to the durability of the body. The smartphone, according to leaks, will get IP69 protection and MIL-STD-810H military certification, which will provide increased resistance to dust, water and drops — a rarity for its price segment.

On the front is an AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and an impressive peak brightness of 4000 nits — enough even for comfortable use in direct sunlight.
The device is expected to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor with 5G support, up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage.
The smartphone is expected to cost between $250 and $300, according to preliminary reports. If the specs are confirmed, the device promises to be a unique combination of autonomy, durability, and affordability. It is expected to officially launch in early 2026.
