Abstract
An exemplary electronic device includes a lower housing having a mounting panel, a first camera module mounted to the mounting panel, a sliding member mounted to the lower housing, a second camera module mounted to the sliding member, and two hinge assemblies fixed to the sliding member. The first camera module is configured to be covered by the sliding member. The second camera module is configured to be covered by the mounting panel. The hinge assemblies are configured to make the sliding member slidable relative to the lower housing to expose the first camera module and the second camera module out from the sliding member and the mounting panel, respectively, and enable the sliding member rotatably relative to the lower housing.
