realme, one of Pakistan’s fastest-growing smartphone brands, has entered a strategic partnership with foodpanda to provide 20,000 riders nationwide with the C85 Pro smartphone. The collaboration designates realme C85 Pro as the official device for foodpanda riders, enabling greater efficiency, reliability, and connectivity during deliveries. This initiative focuses on equipping riders with advanced technology while recognizing top performers and dedicated individuals who contribute to the platform’s daily operations.
The C85 Pro has been specifically chosen to match the dynamic and demanding nature of delivery work. Its 7000mAh Titan Battery, the largest in its segment, supports long hours of operation without interruption. Coupled with AI Power Saving and 45W Fast Charging, riders can remain productive throughout the day and quickly recharge between shifts. The device also features a 4000nit Ultra Bright AMOLED display made with OLED material, ensuring clear visibility even in bright sunlight. A 120Hz refresh rate delivers smooth performance, enhancing navigation and order management for riders operating in fast-paced environments.
Durability is another key aspect of the C85 Pro, with IP69 Pro Water and Dust Resistance enabling it to withstand rain, dust, and extreme outdoor conditions. This makes it ideal for riders who face challenging weather and urban environments while completing deliveries across Pakistan. The smartphone combines a Snapdragon 685 processor with 24GB Dynamic RAM and up to 256GB of storage, providing the speed and memory needed to manage multiple applications simultaneously. Available in Parrot Purple and Peacock Green, the device balances style and functionality, ensuring reliability without compromising aesthetics.
Through this long-term partnership, realme and foodpanda aim to set a new standard for corporate collaboration in Pakistan’s tech and delivery sectors. The C85 Pro is available in two variants, 8GB + 128GB priced at PKR 59,999, and 8GB + 256GB priced at PKR 62,999. By equipping riders with these smartphones, the program enhances operational efficiency and empowers foodpanda’s workforce to perform at their best. This initiative also highlights the role of technology in improving service delivery, supporting workforce productivity, and fostering innovation in mobile technology solutions for professional users.
The partnership exemplifies a model of combining corporate resources and technology to directly benefit frontline workers. Through initiatives like this, realme and foodpanda are demonstrating how smart devices can become tools for professional growth, improved performance, and sustained connectivity, ensuring that riders across Pakistan have access to devices capable of keeping pace with their demanding roles.
