Abstract
An electronic device is provided, including a communication circuit; a flexible display; and a foldable housing including a first housing portion and a second housing portion foldable with respect to each other. The first housing portion includes, as a first external side thereof, a first metal portion, a second metal portion, and a first non-metal portion disposed between the first metal portion and the second metal portion. The second housing portion includes, as a second external side thereof, a third metal portion, a fourth metal portion, and a second non-metal portion disposed between the third and fourth metal portions. The first metal portion is electrically connected with the communication circuit and operates as an antenna radiator. When the foldable housing is folded such that the first housing portion contacts the second housing portion, the first non-metal portion and the second non-metal portion are aligned with each other.
