1. A portable communication device comprising:
a housing;
a display accommodated in the housing;
a transparent part disposed on the display and including a camera area which, when viewed in a first direction perpendicular to the display, is substantially centered with respect to a top side edge of the transparent part;
a camera accommodated in the housing and facing in the first direction through the camera area of the transparent part;
an opening for outputting sound, at least a portion of the opening disposed between the camera area and a top side edge of the housing, and the at least the portion of the opening being substantially centered with respect to the top side edge of the housing;
an acoustic component accommodated in the housing;
a first sound passage extending from the acoustic component toward the top side edge of the housing; and
a second sound passage extending from the first sound passage to the opening such that sound generated by the acoustic component passes through the first sound passage and the second sound passage toward a front surface of the portable communication device,
wherein the first sound passage, when viewed in the first direction perpendicular to the display, is disposed between the camera and a left side edge or a right side edge of the housing, and
wherein the second sound passage, when viewed in the first direction perpendicular to the display, is disposed below at least a portion of the opening.
