Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for processing a call signal of a mobile phone, the method includes detecting a current call state of the mobile phone; acquiring an environmental noise signal when the mobile phone enters an earphone call state; and performing a noise reduction processing to a call signal according to the environmental noise signal for acquiring a call signal with the noise reduction processing. The present invention further discloses a mobile phone. The present invention is capable of ensuring that a user is not affected by environmental noises for guaranteeing a better quality of a call when the user makes the call with an earphone.
