The present disclosure relates to a solid-state imaging device and an electronic device for suppressing deterioration of pixel characteristics while guaranteeing the operating range of VSLs. A solid-state imaging device according to a first aspect of this disclosure has multiple pixel sharing units each including multiple photoelectric conversion sections each configured to correspond to a pixel, an accumulation section configured to be shared by the plurality of photoelectric conversion sections and to accumulate charges generated thereby, and multiple transistors configured to control reading of the charges accumulated in the accumulation section. The plurality of transistors in each pixel sharing unit are arranged symmetrically. The plurality of transistors include a transistor that functions as a switch to change conversion efficiency. The present disclosure may be applied to back-illuminated CMOS image sensors, for example.
