Abstract
Embodiments of this application provide an electronic device and a picture processing method. The electronic device includes a rear cover, a front-facing camera, a rear-facing camera, and a light reflective apparatus. The light reflective apparatus may be switched between a usage state and an idle state. The picture processing method includes: controlling the light reflective apparatus to switch from the idle state to the usage state, so that the rear-facing camera captures a picture reflected by the light reflective apparatus; separately obtaining a picture captured by the front-facing camera and a picture captured by the rear-facing camera; processing the picture captured by the rear-facing camera; and fusing the picture captured by the front-facing camera and a picture obtained by processing the picture captured by the rear-facing camera. In this application, a field of view of a picture taken by the front-facing camera can be increased with relatively low costs.
