[0021] In some embodiments, the adhesive is at least one of a thermosetting adhesive, an epoxy resin, and a light-curing adhesive.

[0022] Therefore, by reasonably selecting the adhesive, the difficulty of curing the adhesive can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the installation efficiency of the camera module.

[0023] In some embodiments, the bracket is further provided with a weight-reducing hole.

[0024] Therefore, the weight-reducing holes can reduce the weight of the bracket, which is beneficial to the lightweight setting of the camera module.

[0025] In some embodiments, the fixing member, the accommodating groove, and the lens assembly are all multiple, and the multiple accommodating grooves are arranged at intervals along the periphery of the bracket, and the multiple fixing members, the multiple accommodating grooves, and the multiple lens assemblies correspond to each other one by one.

[0026] Therefore, through the above-mentioned configuration, the camera module can acquire images at multiple angles at the same time, which is beneficial to improving the application range of the camera module.

[0027] The present invention also provides an electronic device, including:

[0028] The camera module described in the above embodiment.

[0029] The camera module in the electronic device is installed by inserting the main body and introducing the adhesive and curing it.
