Perfect for any loved ones who are fans of Drake, this Hotline Bling-inspired portable phone charger will make an excellent holiday gift. The Hotline Bling Charger from WattzUp will power up your smartphone on the go, but also resembles an old school brick phone from the 90s. Pink in color, the gadget will come in handy for calling people those late nights when you need their love.
Compatible with iOS and Android devices, the charger also works with a variety of other electronics, including GoPro cameras, Bluetooth headphones, video game controllers and vape pens. This is possible due to its USB port. However, it does not provide a full enough charge to recharge tablet devices.
