1. A portable terminal comprising:
a main body having a rectangular shape in a plan view and having a display on a front surface thereof;
a battery accommodated in the main body; and
a circuit board,
wherein in a state where two short edges among four edges of a back surface of the main body are positioned on a left side and a right side of the main body, when viewed from the back surface, the main body is divided into matrix regions, which are regions of a matrix of 25 divisions, by an imaginary line dividing each of two edges of the main body orthogonal to each other into five equal parts,
in a state where any of the two edges is defined as an upper edge disposed on an upper side, five regions containing the upper edge are defined as a first region, a second region, a third region, a fourth region, and a fifth region in order from the left side,
five regions below the first region, the second region, the third region, the fourth region, and the fifth region are defined as a sixth region, a seventh region, an eighth region, a ninth region, and a tenth region in order from the left side,
five regions below the sixth region, the seventh region, the eighth region, the ninth region, and the tenth region are defined as an eleventh region, a twelfth region, a thirteenth region, a fourteenth region, and a fifteenth region in order from the left side,
five regions below the eleventh region, the twelfth region, the thirteenth region, the fourteenth region, and the fifteenth region are defined as a sixteenth region, a seventeenth region, an eighteenth region, a nineteenth region, and a twentieth region in order from the left side, and
five regions below the sixteenth region, the seventeenth region, the eighteenth region, the nineteenth region, and the twentieth region are defined as a twenty-first region, a twenty-second region, a twenty-third region, a twenty-fourth region, and a twenty-fifth region in order from the left side,
wherein the battery is accommodated in a first merged region in which the seventh region to the ninth region, the twelfth region to the fourteenth region, and the seventeenth region to the nineteenth region are merged, area of a front surface of the battery in a plan view is equal to or less than 9/25 of area of a back surface of the portable terminal in a plan view, and a length of a side surface of the battery is equal to or less than ⅗ of a length of a side surface of the portable terminal,
wherein when the portable terminal is viewed from the back surface, a center of the battery is in the thirteenth region,
wherein the circuit board is disposed along a periphery of the battery when the portable terminal is seen through the back surface, and
wherein an optional area is provided in any of a third merged region, in which the second region to the fourth region are merged, and a fourth merged region, in which the tenth region, the fifteenth region, and the twentieth region are merged, and an optional component is detachably attached to the optional area.
