A dual slide portable terminal includes a first housing having a surface with a display arranged thereon and a rear surface; a second housing having a surface; and a dual slide coupling mechanism coupling the first and second housings to each other. The coupling mechanism includes: a first translation mechanism coupling the first housing to the second housing in a manner allowing longitudinal translation movement of the first housing relative to the second housing between a first posture in which the surface of second housing is covered by the rear surface of first housing and a second posture in which the surface of the second housing is exposed; and a second translation mechanism coupling the first housing to the second housing in a manner allowing lateral translation movement of the first housing relative to the second housing between the first posture and a third posture in which the surface of second housing is exposed. The surface area of the second housing exposed in the second posture is different from the area exposed in the third posture.
