NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Realme C85 is the more complete choice for 5G and stronger measured performance, while the C85 4G fits buyers who need to charge other devices. Their overall results are nearly level, so these specific features decide the match.
For connectivity, the C85 has 5G versus GSM, HSPA, and LTE on the C85 4G, plus Bluetooth 5.3 instead of Bluetooth 5.0. It also keeps a 3.5 mm audio jack, which the C85 4G lacks. In Geekbench 6, the C85 scores 782 and 2,012, compared with 473 and 1,510 for the C85 4G. The 4G model reaches a higher maximum CPU clock of 2.8 GHz versus 2.4 GHz, but the measured results favor the C85.
The C85 4G leads on battery features with reverse charging, while both phones have 7,000 mAh batteries and 45 W fast charging. Both also offer 8 GB of RAM, up to 256 GB of storage, and IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H resistance. The C85 records 1080p video at 120 fps from its rear camera and has a dual-LED flash; the C85 4G adds 1080p video at 60 fps from the front camera. The choice is therefore the C85 for connectivity and performance, or the C85 4G for reverse charging.
Realme C85
The Realme C85 is the better buy for 5G, Bluetooth 5.3, and stronger Geekbench 6 results.
Realme C85 4G
The Realme C85 4G is the better buy for reverse charging and its 2.8 GHz maximum CPU clock.
