Abstract
A portable electronic device includes a housing defining an opening, a string of a pendant, and a pendant attachment device. The pendant attachment device includes a fixing block, an attachment element rotatably and movably fixed in the compartment, a fixing plate fixed to the housing and an elastic element. The fixing block defines a compartment. The attachment element includes a main body defining a fixing hole, the string is threaded through the fixing hole. In a first state, the elastic element exerts an elastic force on the attachment element, causing the attachment element being latched with the latching block with the fixing hole is located in the opening. In a second state, the elastic element drives the attachment element to move away from the fixing plate, thereby making the fixing hole stick out of the opening.
