A foldable electronic device and method for the same are disclosed herein. The foldable electronic device includes at least one display, a sensor, at least one camera, a processor, at least one switch electrically connecting the at least one display, at least one camera and processor. The processor implements the method, including: detecting an operating state of the device via the sensor, and controlling the at least one switch to selectively connect the processor to one of the display and the at least one camera, based on the detected operating state.

Method for displaying preview image and electronic device supporting the same

An electronic device includes a display which is foldable at a folding region of the display, a housing which is foldable together with the display, the housing including a first housing and a second housing, and a sensor which is on the first housing and detects a magnetic field, and a hinge structure which corresponds to the folding region of the display, is foldable together with the display and hingedly connects the first housing and the second housing to each other, the hinge structure including a magnet which is slidable along the first housing. Folding of the hinge structure includes folding of the housing together with folding of the display and sliding of the magnet relative to the sensor.

Flexible display and electronic device including the same

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes at least one hinge module providing at least one folding axis, a first housing coupled with the hinge module to rotate around the folding axis, a second housing coupled with the hinge module to rotate around the folding axis, and rotating with respect to the first housing, between a first position at which the second housing is folded, facing the first housing and a second position at which the second housing is unfolded at a specified angle from the first position, a first battery provided in the first housing, a first circuit board including a first arrangement area disposed in parallel to the first battery at least partially along a direction parallel to the folding axis, and a second arrangement area extending from the first arrangement area and disposed between the folding axis and the battery, and at least one flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) extending from the interior of the first housing to the interior of the second housing across the folding axis. Inside the first housing, one end portion of the FPCB is connected to the second arrangement area, between the folding axis and the first battery, and a part of the FPCB is disposed between the first battery and the second arrangement area.

Electronic device including flexible printed circuit board

An electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a housing including a first housing and a second housing; a hinge unit rotatably connected to the first housing and the second housing; a display; a first speaker disposed in the first housing; a second speaker disposed in the second housing; at least one sensor; and a memory. The memory may store instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: receive an event related to audio data; identify a state of the electronic device on the basis of information obtained through the at least one sensor; determine at least one speaker to output the audio data, among the first speaker and the second speaker, on the basis of the state of the electronic device; and output the audio data through the at least one speaker.
