realme, the world’s fastest-growing smartphone brand, proudly announces that the upcoming C85 5G has secured the prestigious GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for “Most People Performing a Mobile Phone Water-Resistance Test Simultaneously”. This groundbreaking achievement, validated at the Cilandak Sports Center in Jakarta on 20 November 2025, underscores realme’s relentless innovation in waterproof technology and positions the C85 Series as a game-changer for Malaysian users.
In a spectacle of coordinated precision, 280 participants with each holding a realme C85 device – lined up poolside in a domino-style formation before submerging their phones in unison for a full two minutes. Upon simultaneous retrieval, every unit powered on flawlessly, passing rigorous GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ adjudication without a single malfunction. This feat not only shatters previous benchmarks but also highlights the C85 5G’s ability to empower communities, fostering collective experiences that celebrate technology’s role in everyday adventures. For Malaysians, where sudden showers are a way of life, this record translates to tangible peace of mind: a phone that thrives in real-world chaos.
At the heart of this milestone lies realme’s pioneering IP69 Pro water-resistance standard – the toughest protection ever offered in the segment, surpassing the standard IP69K, IP69, IP68, and IP66 certifications in a single, all-encompassing shield. Engineered to defend against an impressive array of 36 liquids, including chlorinated pool water, saltwater splashes, and even corrosive household spills, the C85 Series endures extreme submersion tests: up to 30 minutes at 6 meters depth and an astonishing 60 days at 0.5 meters, all while maintaining full operational integrity across temperatures from 0°C to 85°C. Complementing this is the military-grade MIL-STD-810H compliance, enabling survival from 2-meter drops onto hard surfaces.
This GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ triumph is real proof that premium durability no longer belongs to flagship prices. A smartphone that made history is about to make waves right here as realme will bring the same record-breaking toughness to Malaysia.
