1. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing;
a first board disposed in the housing;
a second board disposed between the housing and the first board, the second board being spatially separated from a rear cover of the housing;
at least one connecting portion electrically connecting the first board to the second board;
a thermistor mounted on a side of the second board facing the rear cover of the housing, the thermistor not being in direct contact with the rear cover of the housing;
at least one side structure disposed on the second board for providing a space between the rear cover and the second board in which space the thermistor is disposed, wherein a height of the at least one side structure is greater than a height of the thermistor such that an air gap is formed between the thermistor and the rear cover; and
a processor disposed on the first board,
wherein the processor is configured to obtain an electrical signal, corresponding to a temperature detected by the thermistor, for determining a temperature of an area in proximity of the rear cover of the housing.
