Claim 9:
10. A mobile terminal having a front surface, a rear surface and side surfaces, the mobile terminal comprising:
a housing having a front side, a rear side and lateral sides, the housing including a metal rim formed of a metal material and at least one bending portion formed of a non-metal material, and the lateral side of the housing having two short sides and two long sides that are longer than the two short sides;
a rear cover disposed on the rear side of the housing, the cover having a planar portion and at least one bending portion bent from the planar portion;
a reflection sheet disposed on the cover and formed of a metal material;
an antenna module disposed between a rear side of the housing and a front cover, and configured to radiate a beamforming radio signal; and
an antenna frame configured to support the antenna module and formed of a metal material,
wherein the antenna module comprises an insulating member, an electronic element disposed on a surface of the insulating member, and antenna patterns disposed on the other surface of the insulating member,
wherein the antenna module is tilted from a portion of the rear side of the housing, and a side surface shape of the mobile terminal is defined by the bending portion of the cover and a lateral side of the housing,
wherein the bending portion of the cover and the planar portion of the cover comprise a first region, a second region, and a third region,
wherein the second region is disposed to face the antenna patterns, the third region is connected to a portion of the second region adjacent to a side surface portion of the housing, the first region is connected another region of the second region opposite to the third region, and the reflection sheet is disposed on the first region of the cover, and
wherein the beamforming radio signal of the first region is reflected from the second region and the third region by the reflection sheet.
