1. An electronic device comprising:
a first housing comprising a first space configured via a first side surface member comprising a first side surface, a second side surface extending in a direction perpendicular to the first side surface, and a third side surface extending from the second side surface to be parallel to the first side surface;
a second housing slidably coupled to the first housing along a first direction and including a second space;
a bendable member connected to the first housing, at least partially accommodated in the second space in a slide-in state, and at least partially forming a same plane as the first housing in a slide-out state;
a flexible display including, in the slide-in state, a first portion disposed to be visible from outside of the electronic device and a second portion extending from the first portion and accommodated in the second space to at least partially prevent the second portion from being viewed from the outside of the electronic device via the bendable member;
an opening formed on the third side surface of the first housing;
a socket module disposed, in the first space, to correspond to the opening, opening;
a camera module coupled to the socket module, the camera module being disposed in a stacked manner with the socket module; and
a reinforcing plate, comprising metal, disposed between the socket module and the camera module,
wherein the opening is disposed to be not visible from outside of the electronic device via at least a portion of the second housing in the slide-in state, and is exposed to be visible from the outside of the electronic device in the slide-out state,
wherein the first side surface and the third side surface are accommodated in the second space to prevent the first side surface and the third side surface from being viewed from the outside of the electronic device in the slide-in state,
wherein the first housing comprises a first support member extending from the first side surface member to the first space, and a first rear cover disposed on at least a portion of the first support member, and
wherein the camera module is disposed to detect an external environment via the first rear cover.
