realme's Coveted C Series Represents the Perfect Union of Quality and Value for Money

     

realme’s C series carries a great legacy of delivering high value for money products with impeccable quality standards

 

Since its inception, realme has strived to create unique, inspiring product lines to meet the needs of its customers. The realme number series emphasizes innovation in its smartphones, the Narzo series places importance on gaming performance, and last but not least, the C series puts quality at the forefront while delivering a high value for money offering in its various handsets. Smartphones from the realme C series lineup remain among the best-selling products in realme’s catalogue, having an appeal to a broad segment of the market. Its quality-first approach led to the realme C series acquiring the internationally recognized TUV Rheinland High Reliability Certification for its smartphones in 2021. The rigorous process to acquire this certification involves 23 tests ranging from daily use tests, extreme environment test scenarios, and component reliability scenarios to ensure that your smartphone is able to perform under any conditions.



 

The first C series phone released by realme was the C1 in January of 2019, followed by the realme C2 in May 2019, and the realme C3 in February 2020. These phones pioneered the legacy of C series phones being budget-friendly options with good specifications. Not only did they have market-competitive specifications for their price range, they also came with unique design concepts giving them a stylish look such as the Diamond Cut Design of the realme C2 or the Sunrise Design of the realme C3. In July of 2020, realme launched the realme C11, which brought with it another attractive design concept with its Geometric Art Design.  



 

The C series received a massive upgrade with August 2020’s release of the realme C12 which came equipped with a massive 6000mAh battery and introduced triple rear camera modules to the product line. The legacy of stunning design was carried forward with the realme C12’s Geometric Gradient Design. The following month the realme C17 was released in September 2020. Some of the incredible features it added to the C series lineup include a 90Hz Ultra Smooth Display and 18W Quick Charging which were great quality of life improvements for consumers.

 

In November of the same year, realme launched the realme C15, which brought with it the return of the supersized 6000mAh battery and the introduction of quad camera modules to the C series. April 2021 was an important month for fans of the C series as it saw the release of the realme C21 and C25. The realme C25 pushed the limits on its camera module by featuring a 48MP AI triple camera, which hadn’t been seen before as previous C series models stuck with a 13MP primary camera.

 

August 2021 saw the release of the realme C25s which featured many of the same components as the C25 but with an upgraded processor. Another C25 variant was released in December 2021 – the realme C25Y. Featuring an eye-catching Line Aesthetic Design, the realme C25Y introduced the 50MP camera module to the C series as well as further upgraded its processing abilities. The latest phone released in the long history of the C series was the realme C35 in May 2022 which took the market by storm upon its release and continues to do so. Its Glowing Silk Design has really struck a chord with the consumers in the market.  

 

Over the course of 3 years, the realme C series has proven to be a favorite among consumers for its affordability, quality, and design, creating a legacy for itself. Each new entrant into the C series has brought something unique and interesting to add to the product line and has been received very well by consumers in the market. realme hopes to keep this legacy going and meet the expectations of C series fans who rely on affordable technology to stay connected in today’s world. For the month of October, one of the stars of the C series, the realme C25Y is available for the incredible price of PKR 28,999/- in a limited time offer. Get yours today before time runs out and enjoy the reliable value of realme’s C series.

Google for Startups Accelerator: Circular Economy launches in Pakistan

     


Google is launching Google for Startups Accelerator: Circular Economy for startups and non-profit organizations in Pakistan, Asia-Pacific and North America. The program will select organizations that use technology to solve circularity challenges including reuse, refill, recycling, composting, fashion, food, safe and circular materials, and the built environment. 

 


Asia-Pacific is a good starting point to innovate and create circular economy solutions. It is the world's most vulnerable region to climate change’s impact. Only ten rivers contribute 90% of all river-borne plastic in the ocean, eight of which are in APAC. By 2040, Asia is expected to account for 40% of global consumption. 


Humanity consumes far more than what the planet can naturally replenish. In 2022, global demand for resources is projected to be 1.75 times what the earth’s ecosystems can regenerate in a year. And most of the resources that we extract and use eventually become waste — adding to the more than 2 billion tons of solid waste created each year. The programme hopes to support startups that will help create a circular economy that is safer, sustainable, and more equitable for everyone, which will rebuild our relationship with physical resources and solve circularity challenges. 


Through a mix of 1-to-1 and 1-to-many learning sessions, the accelerator offers ten weeks of virtual programming that includes technical assistance and mentoring from Google engineers and external experts. Participants will also be assigned a dedicated Success Manager for even more support that is specific to their organization.


Applications are open from October 4, 2022 to November 14, 2022 and the program will commence in February 2023. For more information and details on how to apply visit our website

Emphasizing upon the significance of women development in Pakistani society, the CEO of foundation Ms. Tooba Saad Khan stated, "Being a mother of a toddler I always wished to start something of my own after my baby.

Also present at the said ceremony and commenting on partnership with Workshack, Sardar AbuBakar, The Chief Finance & Digital Officer and SEVP of Mobilink Microfinance Bank said “Ecstatic that Workshack is catering to the needs of female entrepreneurs and budding startups through dedicated co-working spaces & business solutions.
