Disclosed is an electronic device comprising: a housing comprising an upper plate part portion and a lower plate part portion; and a flexible hinge connecting the upper plate part portion and the lower plate part portion. The upper plate part portion comprises a first surface facing in a first direction, a second surface facing in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction, and a third surface partially surrounding the space between the first surface and the second surface. The lower plate part portion comprises a fourth surface facing in the first direction, a fifth surface lacing in the second direction, and a sixth surface partially surrounding the space between the fourth surface and the fifth surface. The fourth surface faces the second surface of the upper plate part portion in a first state. The flexible hinge comprises: a first segmented portion having a first magnetic body arranged therein, the first magnetic body having a magneticity equal to or larger than a first designated magnitude, the first segmented port ion being made of a first material having a strength equal to or larger than a second designated magnitude, a second segmented portion having a second magnetic body arranged therein, the second magnetic body having a magneticity equal to or larger than a third designated magnitude, the second segmented portion being made of a second material having a strength equal to or larger than a fourth designated magnitude; and a cover portion at least partially surrounding the first segmented portion and the second segmented portion, the cover portion being made of a third material having a strength below a designated fifth magnitude. When changing from the first state to a second state, the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body bind the first segmented portion and the second segmented portion in a substantially straight type. In the second state, the upper plate part portion is cradled on the lower plate part portion while forming a first designated angle with the lower plate part portion. Besides, various embodiments inferable from the specification are possible.
