An electronic device includes a device housing, a front-facing imager, one or more sensors, a blade assembly carrying a blade and slidably coupled to the device housing and operable to slidably transition between an extended position where the blade extends beyond an edge of the device housing a retracted position where a major surface of the blade abuts a major surface of the device housing and a peek position in which the blade reveals the front-facing imager. The electronic device includes one or more processors. The one or more processors cause the blade assembly to transition to the peek position in response to an application operating on the one or more processors invoking an image capture operation and the one or more sensors determining the front-facing imager is oriented toward a user of the electronic device.

An electronic device includes a device housing and a blade assembly carrying a blade and slidably coupled to the device housing. The electronic device includes a translation mechanism operable to slide the blade assembly relative to the device housing. The electronic device includes one or more processors operable with the translation mechanism. The one or more processors automatically transition the blade assembly to the peek position when a front-facing imager or front-facing loudspeaker is required unless a privacy mode of operation is enabled, wherein transition of the blade assembly to the peek position is precluded.

The one or more processors cause the blade assembly to transition to the peek position in response to a document scanning application operating on the one or more processors invoking an image capture operation and the one or more sensors determining the front-facing imager is oriented toward a document.

An electronic device includes a housing. A semi-rigid polymer light pipe ring is positioned along the housing. A portion of the semi-rigid polymer light pipe ring extends outwardly beyond a convex major surface of the housing. A substantially planar housing member is coupled to and seals an interior of the semi-rigid polymer light pipe ring.
