Techniques for preventing deformation of a shaft cover of an electronic device
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device may be a mobile phone, a wearable device, a vehicle-mounted device, or another device. The electronic device in this application uses a design in which a base protrudes in a Y direction or is flush with a shaft cover, thereby improving structural rigidity. The base can effectively bear all or a part of impact force, thereby effectively ameliorating a problem that the shaft cover is deformed and a flexible screen is impacted, and improving shatter resistance of the entire electronic device.
