[0048] Embodiment 1 of this utility model is: an electronic device, including but not limited to mobile phones, tablet computers, smartwatches, etc., wherein the electronic device is equipped with a sound-generating unit.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3The miniature loudspeaker includes a magnetic circuit assembly 1, a vibration assembly 2, a frame 3, and a first camera module 4.

The bottom surface of the central magnet 132 is connected to the yoke 11, and the top surface of the central magnet 132 is connected to the central washer 133. Looking down at the magnetic circuit assembly 1, the second mounting cavity 131 is positioned corresponding to the central region of the central magnet 132. Since the available magnetic flux in the middle of the central magnet 132 is relatively small, positioning the second mounting cavity 131 corresponding to the central region of the central magnet 132 minimizes the impact of the second mounting cavity 131 on the acoustic performance of the sound-generating unit.
