The invention discloses a folding mobile terminal. The folding mobile terminal is used to reduce breakage rate of a flexible screen, and then use life of the folding mobile terminal is prolonged. The folding mobile terminal comprises an upper housing and a lower housing which are arranged in hinged mode, and the flexible screen which is arranged on the folding inner side faces of the upper housing and the lower housing, wherein an upper containing cavity is formed in an area on the upper housing, close to the hinged axis, and a lower containing cavity is formed in an area on the lower housing, close to the hinged axis. When the folding mobile terminal is folded, the upper containing cavity is opposite to the lower containing cavity, a bending portion of the flexible screen is contained in the upper containing cavity and the lower containing cavity. Due to the fact that the bending portion of the flexible screen can be contained in the upper containing cavity and the lower containing cavity when the folding mobile terminal is folded, the bending radius can be kept large. By adopting the technical scheme, the rate of breakage of the flexible screen, caused by the large bending angle, can be greatly reduced, and therefore the use life of the folding mobile terminal is greatly prolonged.
