A curved-type optical lens assembly and an electronic device are provided. The optical lens assembly focuses an image of an object on the image sensor. The optical lens assembly includes a reflector configured to reflect incident light, a lens array including a plurality of lenses arranged between the reflector and the image sensor, a first light blocker arranged at an object side of the reflector to block the light, and a second light blocker arranged at an image side of the reflector to block the light. The optical lens assembly further includes a first optical axis of the light proceeding towards the reflector and a second optical axis of the light reflected by the reflector.
