This Chinese phone offers one solution to the problem of always forgetting your charger at home. Built right into the case of the phone is a small prong that can be plugged into a receptacle and charged. When it is not in use, the prong can be tucked to the side and out of the way.
The phone has a 4.3" screen that uses a 1800 mAh battery and runs on an Android 4.0 OS. The phone retails for about $77, which is incredible considering what it can do.
The phone's "direct charge" feature is a huge selling point for this phone. Although this doesn't make using the phone while it is charging easy, it still provides a great way to top up a phone's battery without a tangle of cords.
