Editorial report

Xiaomi Poco C85 8 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet

The Poco C85 suits buyers who want a very large 5G phone with a 6000 mAh battery, rather than a device focused on camera quality or demanding performance. This version pairs 6 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage, and the storage can be expanded.

Its 6.9″ IPS LCD display runs at 120 Hz and reaches 810 nits, but its 254 ppi density is among the weakest of its time. The body weighs 211 g, measures 8.2 mm thick and has IP64 protection. A side-mounted fingerprint sensor handles biometric access.

The MediaTek Dimensity 6300 runs Android 15 with two years of update support. Its 262,000 AnTuTu result is worse than most phones of its time, making performance a clear trade-off. The 50 MP rear camera has an f/1.8 aperture and records 1080p video, but its 1/2.76″ sensor is among the smallest of its time. Optical image stabilization is absent. The front camera is 8 MP.

Connectivity includes 5G, NFC, Bluetooth 5.4, dual SIM and GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou navigation. The 6000 mAh battery supports 33 W charging and reverse charging, while battery and connectivity are typical for its time. With a NeoScore of 5.3, the Poco C85 is better suited to a large display, 5G access and battery capacity than to demanding games or advanced photography.
