1. An electronic device comprising:
a communication circuit;
a housing including a first surface of the electronic device and a second surface of the electronic device, the second surface oriented in a direction different from a direction in which the first surface is oriented;
a display viewable through the first surface;
a first plate disposed between at least the display and the second surface and including a conductive material, wherein the first plate includes a first opening and a portion of the first plate surrounding the first opening includes a first antenna; and
a second antenna disposed within the housing and configured to transmit and/or receive a signal with respect to at least a direction different from a direction in which the first antenna transmits and/or receives the signal,
wherein the first antenna or the second antenna is configured to be selectively electrically connected to the communication circuit at least partially based on a folded state of the electronic device.
