1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing;
a display disposed in a first direction of the housing;
a first illuminance sensor disposed in the first direction of the housing;
a second illuminance sensor disposed in a second direction of the housing opposite to the first direction;
a memory disposed in an inner space of the housing; and
a processor disposed in the inner space of the housing,
wherein the processor is configured to:
configure a brightness of the display to a first brightness, based on a first front-surface sensing value detected through the first illuminance sensor,
acquire a second front-surface sensing value smaller than the first front-surface sensing value through the first illuminance sensor while the brightness of the display is the first brightness,
compare the second front-surface sensing value with a first rear-surface sensing value detected through the second illuminance sensor,
in case that the second front-surface sensing value is greater than or equal to the first rear-surface sensing value, determine whether a touch input is detected through a designated region of the display,
maintain the brightness of the display at the first brightness in case that the touch input is detected, and
in case that the touch input is not detected, adjust the brightness of the display to a value lower than that of the first brightness, based on a first lookup table (LUT) stored in the memory, or maintains the brightness of the display at the first brightness.
