Realme C85 Tipped To Launch In India This Month

Realme might have another budget phone on the way to India, and it could be landing sooner than expected. According to a new tip, the Realme C85 (mistakenly referred to as the G85 in the post) is set to launch in India later this month, lining up as a cheaper alternative to the Realme 15x.

The leak comes from @yabhishekhd on X, who claims the phone is already in the pipeline, even though Realme hasn’t officially said anything yet. Based on his post, the C85 will be pretty close to the 15x in terms of overall hardware, just with a step-down camera setup to keep the price in check.

For context, the Realme 15x features a 6.81-inch HD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate, a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, and a massive 7000mAh battery. It also offers up to 8GB RAM, 256GB expandable storage, and runs Android 15 with realme UI 6.0. The phone’s cameras include a 1/2.93″, 50MP main sensor and a 50MP selfie shooter.

The C85, however, has already launched in Vietnam with an 8MP front camera. The X post also mentioned a “downgraded camera,” suggesting that the Indian variant will pack the same cameras as the Vietnamese model.

Users should get nearly the same performance and endurance as the 15x, just without the same camera capabilities. It should help Realme position the C85 as a slightly affordable alternative to the 15x while still delivering midrange-level speed and battery life.

The same tipster also mentions Redmi’s upcoming launches. The Redmi 15C is expected either later this month or in early December, followed by the Redmi Note 15 series in January 2026. If these timelines are accurate, the next few months could be crowded for budget and mid-range phones as well in India.

details should drop once Realme officially confirms the launch.
