use a product similar to the one above. well worth the $8.00usd. simply plug it into outlet like u were plugging in appliance. the lights on it will tell u if there is a problem with outlet wiring. the product is also handy to tell if power is off to outlet, for safety.
i suspect u have a hot leg were it doesn't belong. reason being the kind of appliances u were comparing are polarity sensitive most phone chargers are not.

It would appear that there is something wrong with the outlet. I am not sure why the phone charger is working. Must be just the one plug in. If it were me, the first thing I would do is trip the breaker on that circuit and take the recepticle out of the wall and try to determine what the problem is. If your not comfortable with doing that quit using it until it is checked by an electriction. I would plug nothing more into it and also take the phone charger out of it as well. This could well be a dangerous issue. Fire being number one.

you might have blown the fuses in the appliances and/or the fuses or breakers in the house. you're lucky you didn't burn the house down
