1. A portable communication device comprising:
a housing including a side member forming a side surface of the portable communication device;
a battery accommodated in the housing and disposed adjacent to a first portion of the side member;
an antenna assembly disposed between the first portion of the side member and the battery, the antenna assembly including:
a first printed circuit board (PCB) disposed substantially parallel with the first portion of the side member,
a first antenna array disposed on at least a portion of the first PCB such that a beam radiated via the first antenna array is directed substantially toward the first portion of the side member, and
a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) disposed at a second side of the first PCB opposite to a first side of the first PCB substantially facing the first portion of the side member;
a conductive supporting member disposed between the RFIC and the battery, and connected to the side member; and
a second PCB disposed between the battery and a second portion of the side member opposite to the first portion of the side member,
wherein the second PCB is electrically connected with the first PCB via a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) disposed along a surface of the battery, and
wherein at least a portion of the first portion of the side member includes colored glass.
