It has been confirmed to feature a massive 6,000mAh battery. Poco has been able to achieve this feat thanks to the use of Silicon Carbon battery tech. The smartphone will even support 33W fast USB-C charging and 10W reverse wired charging.

Additionally, the full back design of the C85 5G is also now live. As revealed by yesterday's Poco C85 5G Flipkart listing, the smartphone is confirmed to feature a dual-tone back design with the squircle dual camera deco in the top-left corner. It even features a large "POCO" branding in silver.
