The invention discloses a terminal and a network state display method. The terminal includes a processing module for generating a network state area and at least two network identification areas according to the current network state information of the terminal, and the network state area is used for displaying states of different networks. The identification, the at least two network identification areas are respectively used to display the network identifications of at least two different networks; the display module is used to display the network status area and at least two network identification areas generated by the processing module on the interface of the terminal. Through the above technical solution, the present invention solves the problem that the existing terminal cannot display the network status, which is easy to cause misunderstanding to the user and has poor user experience. When the network changes, an independent signal display scheme is added to remind the user of the current state of the terminal, so that the user can better understand the normal change process of the network, and can more fully grasp the real-time usage of the terminal, providing User experience.
