1. A portable communication device comprising:
a first camera housing;
a camera assembly disposed inside the first camera housing, wherein the camera assembly comprises a lens assembly comprising a lens, an image sensor, and a frame in which the lens assembly and the image sensor are disposed;
a printed circuit board (PCB) configured to surround a side surface of the frame, wherein the PCB comprises an inner surface facing the side surface of the frame and an outer surface facing opposite the inner surface;
a plurality of coils electrically connected to the PCB, wherein the plurality of coils comprises:
a first coil disposed on the inner surface of a first area of the PCB,
a second coil disposed on the outer surface of a second area of the PCB, and
a third coil disposed on the outer surface of a third area of the PCB; and
a control circuit electrically connected to the PCB, the first coil, the second coil, and the third coil, and configured to:
perform a first function related to the camera assembly by moving the lens assembly relative to the frame, by using the first coil, in a direction substantially parallel to an optical axis of the lens, and
perform a second function related to the camera assembly by rotating the camera assembly relative to the first camera housing about at least one rotation shaft, the at least one rotation shaft being substantially perpendicular to the optical axis, by using at least one of the second coil or the third coil.
