Abstract
An electronic device with movable camera assembly which can be deployed and retracted so as to allow a display screen of maximum size on a front surface of the device includes a main body and a camera assembly. The main body includes a front surface with a display screen and a back surface. The back surface defines a recess receiving the camera assembly. The camera assembly is mounted on a carrier. The carrier-mounted camera assembly appears from or above the front surface when deployed by being slid upwardly or outwardly by a user, the camera assembly can then be pushed back in.
