1. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing including a first surface, a second surface facing away from the first surface, and a side surface structure at least partially surrounding a space formed between the first surface and the second surface;
a display disposed between the first surface and the second surface;
a support member disposed between the display and the second surface and provided with a recess;
an adhesive member attaching the display to the support member while the display conceals at least a portion of the recess;
at least one acoustic hole formed in the housing and configured to emit a sound in a direction the first surface faces;
a speaker disposed in the housing; and
wherein the recess defines two acoustic paths through which sound emitted by the speaker travels to the at least one acoustic hole for emission to an external environment,
wherein the adhesive member includes:
a first adhesive member, wherein a portion of the first adhesive member is attached to the support member adjacent to a portion of the two acoustic paths; and
a second adhesive member attached to the support member between the two acoustic paths;
wherein the adhesive member surrounds the portion of the two acoustic paths, between the display and the support member, and
wherein the electronic device further comprises:
a camera component disposed in the housing, the camera component visibly exposed to an exterior environment through a notch formed in the display so as to capture images; and
a through hole formed through the second adhesive member and aligned with the camera component.
