Meet POCO C85, an eye-catching entry-level entertainer

POCO, a leading brand among young technology enthusiasts, launched POCO C85 last August 30, a new device developed for reliability, aesthetic appeal, and day-to-day performance.

In line with the characteristics of POCO C Series, POCO C85 empowers users through technology and design, meeting their needs for everyday communication, self-expression, and entertainment.

Modern Design Meets Natural Aesthetics

POCO C85 blends good looks with practical features, redefining smartphone design for a generation that values both affordability and style. Inspired by the flowing energy and beauty of the aurora, its unique segmented back showcases subtle shifts of light, making everyday interactions more exciting.

Despite its large 6000mAh (typ) battery, POCO C85 features a slim¹ body paired with a 3D quad-curved back, which is rounded on all sides, fitting perfectly in your hand, making it comfortable and easy to hold. Taking POCO’s signature aesthetic to new places, the deco design adds a premium look with a floating volcanic pattern and a glossy glass finish.

POCO C85 boasts its large 6.9-inch HD+ display that elevates every experience, from mobile gaming to movie nights. It’s smart 120Hz AdaptiveSync refresh rate automatically adjusts between 60Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz to match your activity – whether you’re reading, scrolling, or gaming. For heavy users, eye protection is a priority. Certified by TÜV Rheinland for Low Blue Light (Software Solution), TÜV Rheinland Flicker Free, and TÜV Rheinland Circadian Friendly, the display is designed to reduce discomfort during long usage sessions, while DC dimming minimizes eye strain in low light conditions to provide optimal comfort. Last but not least, Wet Touch Technology 2.0 keeps the screen responsive, even with wet fingers – perfect for kitchen use or during workouts.

Power That Keeps Pace with Your Lifestyle

To deliver endurance and portability in everyday use, POCO C85 features a massive 6000mAh (typ) battery, maintaining 80% or more of its original capacity after completing 1,000 full charge cycles. Boosting the pace of everyday life, the high-density battery provides up to 22 hours of video playback, 82 hours of music, or 20 hours of reading, making it an ideal companion for students, travelers, and professionals. Powering up rapidly to ensure a seamless user experience, the 33W fast charging reaches 50% in just 31 minutes. Meanwhile, POCO C85 also supports 10W reverse charging, allowing it to double as a power bank for other devices.

Reliable Performance Tailored for Daily Demands

Powered by the MediaTek Helio G81-Ultra, POCO C85 delivers a balanced blend of performance and energy efficiency for seamless everyday use and entertainment. The up to 16GB RAM with memory extension and 1TB of expandable storage deliver flexibility and responsiveness, enabling users to enjoy smooth multitasking without storage constraints.

Meanwhile, Xiaomi HyperOS 2 delivers a smooth, reliable user experience with support for Circle to Search with Google, Google Gemini, and Xiaomi Interconnectivity tools like Call sync and Shared clipboard.

POCO C85’s 50MP main camera captures vibrant, true-to-life colors with exceptional detail, delivering satisfying results across a range of photographic scenarios, while its 8MP front camera and beauty mode capture vibrant, fun selfie shots.

Other practical features that enrich usability include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 3.5mm headphone jack, and 200% volume boost. POCO C85 is also created to be dustproof and waterproof, with an IP64 rating.

The new LTO PMVIC, or the Land Transportation Office - Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers, has started operations in some parts of the country for inspections of cars and motorcycles due for registration renewal. Dubbed as MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection System), it aims to test the roadworthiness of private and commercial vehicles prior to their registration. This also includes the checking of modifications, upgrades and accessories that have been installed on your vehicles - whether factory or aftermarket.
