A portable electronic device includes a housing, a user input unit configured to detect touch input and push input, and a carrier, on which the user input unit is seated and which is inserted into the housing, wherein the user input unit includes a first input unit, closely disposed on an inner surface of the housing so as to detect touch input, and a second input unit, disposed inside the first input unit in the state of overlapping the first input unit so as to detect push input, the second input unit including a metal spring that changes in shape in response to the push input. The portable electronic device is capable of detecting two types of input and thus of ensuring that is possible to input a sufficient number of user instructions.
