1. An electronic device comprising:
a cover window defining a front surface of the electronic device;
a first sensor provided under the cover window and configured to detect a pressure applied to the cover window;
a second sensor provided on a same layer as the first sensor and configured to detect the pressure applied to the cover window;
a first adhesive member provided on only a second area of areas including a first area under the first sensor and the second area under the second sensor, wherein the first adhesive member at least partially supports the second sensor such that the second sensor above the first adhesive member is less deformed than the first sensor by the pressure applied to the cover window;
memory, including one or more storage media, storing instructions; and
at least one processor including processing circuitry,
wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
acquire a first pressure change amount detected by the first sensor and a second pressure change amount detected by the second sensor; and
detect the pressure applied to the cover window based on the first pressure change amount and the second pressure change amount.
