ABSTRACT:
A hinge assembly includes a shaft, a tube, an acting member, a friction member, a rotating shaft, and a resilient member. The tube is rotatably sleeved on the shaft. The shaft defines at least one receiving hole. The friction member is positioned in the receiving hole. The rotating shaft extends through the acting member and the shaft to connect the acting member to the shaft rotatably. The resilient member causes the friction member to resist the tube and the acting member. A foldable electronic device applying the hinge assembly is also provided.
