The invention provides a method for discriminating the abnormal stress of a mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal. The inner surface of the shell of the mobile terminal is covered with an organic piezoelectric film. The method comprises the following steps: receiving an electric signal generated when the organic piezoelectric film is stressed by external force; according to the electric signal, judging whether the mobile terminal is subjected to exceptional external force or not; and when a determination result shows that the mobile terminal is subjected to the exceptional external force, emitting prompt information. Through the method for discriminating the abnormal stress of the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal can be subjected to omnibearing exceptional stress identification.
