Abstract
An electronic device includes a device housing and a blade assembly carrying a blade and slidably coupled to the device housing. The electronic device includes a translation mechanism operable to slide the blade assembly relative to the device housing. The electronic device includes one or more processors operable with the translation mechanism. The one or more processors automatically transition the blade assembly to the peek position when a front-facing imager or front-facing loudspeaker is required unless a privacy mode of operation is enabled, wherein transition of the blade assembly to the peek position is precluded.
