POCO has launched the new C85 5G in India, aiming to shake up the under-₹12,000 smartphone segment with powerful performance and a premium design. The phone is tailored for young users who want long-lasting reliability, modern looks, and strong day-to-day performance.
A major highlight of the device is its massive 6000mAh battery, supported by 33W fast charging that delivers 50% power in about 28 minutes. The phone also includes 10W wired reverse charging, allowing it to work as a power bank for other gadgets. Design-wise, it features a slim 7.99mm body, quad-curved back, and dual-tone finish in three colours—Mystic Purple, Spring Green and Power Black.
The POCO C85 5G comes with the segment’s largest 6.9-inch HD+ display and a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate for smoother viewing and gaming. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, the phone offers up to 16GB Turbo RAM, IP64 protection, a 50MP dual rear camera, and HyperOS 2.0 based on Android 15 with a software promise of two OS upgrades and four years of security updates.
The smartphone will be available on Flipkart from December 16, 2025 at noon. Introductory prices start at ₹10,999 for the 4GB+128GB model, with limited-period ₹1,000 bank or exchange bonuses and 3-month No-Cost EMI options across major banks.
