Abstract

A mobile terminal may include a SIM card holder having a button structure a tray and a cover. One end of the cover may be rotatably connected to the tray by a rotation shaft structure, and another end of the cover may include a button contact. The mobile terminal design may combine the SIM card holder and the button to reduce one side button part for the mobile terminal, which may allow the mobile terminal to become light and thin, and may save cost. Since one button may be removed from the mobile terminal, the external design of the product may be simplified such that the appearance of the product may be simpler and more beautiful.
