Abstract

A housing assembly includes a middle frame, a support and a decorative part. The middle frame includes a middle frame body and a border frame, where the border frame is connected to an outer edge of the middle frame body. The support includes a support body and tailbones. The support body includes a first support surface and a second support surface, where the first support surface and the second support surface face away from each other. The tailbone is connected to an outer edge of the support body. The tailbone includes a protrusion with the protrusion protruding from the first support surface. The decorative part is mounted on the first support surface with an end of the decorative part connected to the tailbone. The support is mounted on the middle frame with the second support surface facing the middle frame.
