The invention provides mobile communication equipment with a capacitive type sliding key and an operation method thereof. An effective touch area of a touch screen is lengthened by a part, so that the lengthened part is not overlapped with a display area and serves as the capacitive type sliding key, the capacitive type sliding key is connected with a setting module, an operation control module and a judging module, the mobile communication equipment can perform multiple commonly-used operations such as corresponding returning, returning to a homepage and entering a background when the capacitive type sliding key receives different touch information through common settings, and therefore functions of physical keys or virtual keys arranged on the lower portion of a traditional mobile phone can be achieved. According to the mobile communication equipment, the physical keys do not need to be arranged, the hardware size of the mobile communication equipment is reduced, the virtual keys also are not arranged, and the system resource cost can be reduced; the mobile communication equipment is operated through an operating block, the position of the touch information is not fixedly limited, related function performing areas and modes are flexible and changeable, and one-hand operation can be conveniently achieved when the equipment is held.
