For consumers that enjoy using emojis to express themselves, the [crying emoji charging system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iemoji-ai) might be a great way to express one's constant use of emoticons to communicate. The charger opts for a circular shape and a portable design that is small in size so that it can be clipped onto a keychain and kept on hand at all times.

The charger is three dimensional, recreating the yellow laughing tears face using soft and colored silicone plastic. The charger is able to provide a quick reboot while on-the-go and away from an outlet. The device can hold up to two full charges with the space for 2000-MAH. The charger is compatible with both [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugreen-2) and Android devices, as well as any gadget that can be rebooted using a micro USB cable.
