A wireless power transmission/reception device and a method of operating the same have been provided. The electronic device includes a first housing structure including a first surface and a second surface facing in a direction opposite to the first surface, and a second housing structure including a third surface and a fourth surface facing in a direction opposite to the third surface. The second housing structure is rotatable relative to the first housing structure. The electronic device also includes a display and a control circuit. The first housing is provided with a first wireless charger configured to perform a wireless charging function in relation to a first external electronic device, and the second housing is provided with a second wireless charger configured to perform a wireless charging function in relation to a second external electronic device. The second wireless charger is located to face the first wireless charger when the first housing structure and the second housing structure are folded to face each other.

Wireless power transmission/reception device and method of operating the same

A foldable electronic device is disclosed, including a first housing and a second housing coupled via a hinge allowing folding thereof, a camera configured to rotate with respect to the first housing to a change a field-of-view (FOV) of the camera, a display spanning across surfaces of the first and second housings, a motion sensor for detecting a posture of the foldable electronic device, a folding angle sensor for detecting a folding angle between the first and second housings, and at least one processor configured to: based on detecting an input requesting a function associated with photographic capture by the camera, detect a present posture via the motion sensor and a present folding angle via the folding angle sensor, and drive rotation of the camera, based on the detected present posture and the present folding angle, so as to adjust a present FOV of the camera.

Foldable electronic device having rotatable camera and method for capturing images thereby

The electronic device includes at least one sensor configured to detect air flow in from outside of the electronic device, and a plurality of openings formed in the electronic device. Further, the electronic device includes a duct formed between the at least one sensor and at least one of the plurality of openings. A method for operating an electronic device having at least one sensor configured to detect air flow in from outside includes detecting a motion of the electronic device by using a motion sensor, recognizing a pattern of the detected motion, and activating a foreign matter removing unit when the recognized pattern corresponds to a predefined first motion pattern.

Electronic device and operation method thereof

A SIM card socket is provided, includes a first contact part having first contact terminals electrically contacting a first SIM card when the first SIM card is received; a second contact part having second contact terminals electrically contacting a second SIM card when the second SIM card is received, wherein the second SIM card has a size different from that of the first SIM card; a first stopper disposed on the second contact part and being movable by a predetermined distance in a lengthwise direction of the second contact part along a surface of the second contact part to support insertion of the first SIM card or insertion of the second SIM card; and a cover covering the first contact part, the second contact part, and the first stopper.
