Abstract
A portable electronic device (10) includes a main body (20), and a pluggable module (30) rotatably attached to the main body. The main body includes a display screen (271) embedded in a front (27) thereof, and two symmetrical grooves (281) defined in opposite sides thereof. Two sockets (283) are defined in side walls of the main body that bound the grooves. Each socket includes an electrical connector electrically connecting with an inner circuit of the main body. The pluggable module includes a frame (31), a camera module (33), a headset module (32), and two tenons (3151, 3171) formed on an inside of the frame. The tenons engage in the sockets of the main body, thereby rotatably attaching the pluggable module to the main body, and electrically connecting the camera and headset modules with the inner circuit of the main body.
