Officially launched in Malaysia on 20 December, the realme C85 Series arrives at the perfect time for those powering through the daily grind. The device combines Guinness World Records-certified durability and the segment’s best battery-charging combo, making it the ideal companion for Malaysia’s relentless hustlers. From delivery riders dodging KL’s infamous traffic jams and sudden rain, to pasar malam vendors juggling crowds under humid evenings, or even hustlers who spend time on the phone for long hours at home, this powerhouse is built to battle it all out.
Built for Rain, Heat, and Hustle: A Phone Made for Malaysia
The realme C85 Series stands out as a smartphone officially certified by Guinness World Records for exceptional water resistance. This certification underscores the series’ advanced IP69 Pro protection – the highest in its class, integrating IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings. It resists high-pressure jets, prolonged submersion (up to 6 metres for 30 minutes), and exposure to 36 different liquids, including saltwater and spills. Military-grade MIL-STD-810H certification further ensures survival from 2-metre drops. Picture a Grab rider racing through a heavy downpour, phone mounted and navigating routes without a hitch or a street hawker at Taman Connaught wiping off accidental spills while scanning payments amid the bustling stalls – the C85 Series keeps going, no matter the weather.
Unrivalled Battery Life: Segment-Leading Battery Built for Long Shifts
Complementing its durability is the massive 7,000mAh Titan battery, the largest in C-series history – paired with blazing 45W fast charging and 10W reverse charging. This combination delivers the segment-leading battery life and charging duo, easily supporting days of heavy use with constant navigation, endless calls, payment scans, and social apps. The dedicated AI Outdoor Mode takes it further, intelligently optimising performance for Malaysia’s outdoor conditions: boosting call volume up to 200% for clearer conversations in noisy traffic, enhancing signal strength in challenging areas, increasing screen brightness for better visibility under direct sunlight, and maintaining smooth operation even when temperatures hit 35°C. For gig economy professionals, this means reliable all-day endurance without slowdowns or interruptions.At the same time, those who spend long hours working from their phones indoors will also benefit from extended battery life and consistent performance for streaming, video calls, productivity apps, and multitasking throughout the day.
Tailored for Malaysia’s Go-Getters
From the crack-of-dawn e-hailing drivers battling Penang’s morning traffic to the countless side-hustlers juggling e-commerce orders or freelance gigs between shifts, the realme C85 Series slots right into the heart of Malaysian hardworking spirit. Its expansive 6.8-inch 144Hz display with 1,200 nits peak brightness pierces through glaring tropical sunlight for effortless navigation and scrolling, the 50MP Sony IMX852 camera captures crisp proof-of-delivery photos or quick product shots for online selling, and Android 15-powered realme UI 6.0 juggles multiple apps without breaking a sweat.
With 4G models starting at RM749 and the 5G variant at RM799 (after promotions), the Guinness-certified and best battery plus charging combo in its segment powerhouse provides premium resilience that feels tailor-made for Malaysia’s vibrant, non-stop rhythm, without the premium price tag, available now at realme Brand Stores, realme Authorised dealers, and online platforms.
