Abstract

The present utility model relates to a foldable mobile terminal. The foldable mobile terminal comprises a first portion, a second portion, a connecting module, and elements. The first portion comprises a first side surface, and a groove is formed in the first side surface. The second portion comprises a second side surface and a boss located on the second side surface. The connecting module connects the first portion and the second portion. The first portion and the second portion can be overturned to a superimposed state by means of the connecting module, and in the superimposed state, the boss can be accommodated in the groove. The elements are located in the first portion, and the elements are disposed in the groove. The boss can be accommodated in the groove formed in the first side surface, so that the size of the foldable mobile terminal in the superimposed state can be reduced. In the foldable mobile terminal, the elements are disposed by using the groove. Compared with a manner in which elements are disposed in the surface, the manner in which the elements are disposed in the groove provides a better appearance. Because the elements and the outer surface of the foldable mobile terminal do not need to be designed as a coplanar structure, the appearance is improved.
