Poco C85 5G Specifications
Poco C85 5G is a budget phone which means you get it with the HyperOS 2.2 version based on Android 15. It sports a big 6.9-inch display that supports HD+ resolution with 120Hz refresh rate but not an AMOLED panel. The phone is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage that is further expandable up to 1TB using the microSD card slot.
The OS support is also matching the standards in the segment with two OS upgrades along with 4 years security patches promised by Poco for the new phone.
It also gets IP64 rated for dust and some level of splash resistance which offers the bare minimum protection. The Poco C-series features a dual rear camera system that includes a 50MP main sensor paired with a low-res sensor. It has an 8MP shooter on the front for selfies and video calls. The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security and the other regular sensors for important tasks.
Poco has packed the phone with a 6,000mAh battery with support for 33W wired charging speed, and 10W reverse wired charging that makes it a powerbank option. The phone manages to fit into a 7.9mm frame and weighs 211 grams that should make it easier to use in one hand even with the big screen profile.
