    Abstract: A portable communication device is provided. The device includes a camera assembly comprising a lens and an image sensor, a printed circuit board (PCB) surrounding at least a portion of the camera assembly, and a plurality of coils including a first, second, and third coils respectively disposed on first, second, and third areas of the PCB, and a control circuit electrically connected to the PCB, the first coil, the second coil, and the third coil. The control circuit performs a first function related to the camera assembly by moving the camera assembly, by using the first coil, in a direction substantially parallel to an optical axis of the lens, and a second function related to the camera assembly by rotating the camera assembly about at least one rotation shaft, which is substantially perpendicular to the optical axis, using at least one of the second coil or the third coil.
