1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing including a plate, a frame at least partially surrounding the plate, and a back plate facing a second surface of the plate and coupled to the frame, the back plate including a planar area facing a first direction;
a display module comprising a display disposed on a first surface of the plate;
a battery and a circuit board disposed on the second surface of the plate;
a first flexible substrate extending from the display module, the first flexible substrate extending to the second surface of the plate through an opening area of the plate; and
a second flexible substrate extending from the circuit board to the first flexible substrate across the battery,
wherein the first flexible substrate includes a first area, at least part of the first flexible substrate being located in the opening area, a second area extending from the first area toward the back plate, and a first connector disposed on the second area,
wherein the second flexible substrate includes a third area, at least part of the second flexible substrate being located between the battery and the back plate, a fourth area extending from the third area toward the second surface of the plate, and a second connector disposed on the fourth area, and
wherein the first flexible substrate and the second flexible substrate are arranged such that the first connector and the second connector are coupled in a second direction different from the first direction.
