Abstract
A folding mobile phone comprises a panel housing, a motherboard housing and a blocker. The panel housing is hingedly connected with the motherboard housing by a pivot portion of the motherboard housing to have the folding mobile phone in a closed position or in an open position. The blocker includes a sliding track and a blocking mechanism, wherein the sliding track is mounted at the motherboard housing, perpendicular to the rotation axis of the pivot portion, and the blocking mechanism moves back and forth between a first brake location and a second brake location of the sliding track. When the blocking mechanism moves to the first brake location and the second brake location respectively, it produces respective interference in the pivot portion such that the panel housing and the motherboard housing are unfolded at different angles.
