Abstract
An electronic device is disclosed, including: a first housing, a second housing, a folding housing that pivotably connects the first housing and second housing, a flexible display spanning the first, second and folding housings, a printed circuit board (PCB), a first camera module at least partly visible through a surface of the second housing, a first magnet disposed in the first housing, a second magnet disposed in the second housing, and a hall sensor disposed on the PCB, the hall sensor configured to detect magnetic flux caused by motion of the first and/or second magnet in folding and unfolding of the electronic device so as facilitate determination of a configuration state of the electronic device.
