Banana Phone Bluetooth Handset
✓ Product data checked October 21, 2026
The Banana Phone is a 9-inch, bright yellow handset shaped like a banana. It pairs with an iPhone or Android phone over Bluetooth, so the owner can answer and place calls by holding the fruit to their ear. Buttons handle volume and a multifunction key, an LED shows its status, and the handset also plays audio as a wireless speaker. A micro USB cable is included, and one charge gives up to 20 hours of use, according to the listing. The joke lands the moment it is unwrapped, then returns every time a call comes in and the banana goes up to someone's ear in front of others.
