According to various embodiments disclosed herein, there may be provided an electronic including a housing that includes a first surface having a first surface roughness, a second surface having a second surface roughness different from the first surface, and a first connection portion between the first surface and the second surface. The electronic device may further include an oxide film layer disposed on the first surface, the second surface, and the first connection portion and configured to have a substantially uniform thickness. Various other embodiments may be applied. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An electronic device comprising: a housing comprising a first surface including a first surface roughness; a second surface extended from the first surface and including a second surface roughness different from the first surface roughness; an oxide film layer having a first film portion disposed on the first surface and a second film portion extended from the first film portion is disposed on the second surface; the first film portion and the second film portion having a substantially uniform thickness, and a substantially uniform roughness; and an end section of the first film portion and an end section of the second film portion facing the first film portion formed at the same position. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the first surface is a matte surface, and the second surface is a glossy surface. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The electronic device of claim 2, wherein the first surface is manufactured by a primary processing process configured to generate bumps on a base metal material to arrive at the first surface roughness, an uniformization process configured to uniformize the first surface, and a primary anodizing process configured to form an intermediate oxide film layer. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The electronic device of claim 3, wherein the second surface is manufactured by a secondary processing process configured to process the first surface or the base metal material to arrive at the second surface roughness lower than the first surface roughness, and a secondary anodizing process configured to form the oxide film layer. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The electronic device of claim 4, wherein the secondary processing process is performed after the primary anodizing process of the first surface. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the secondary anodizing process is performed after a film-stripping process configured to remove the intermediate oxide film layer formed by the primary anodizing process. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the housing comp rises a first connection portion wherein the first connection portion connects the first surface and the second surface, and the first connection portion includes curved surface. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the housing comprises a first portion including the first surface, the second surface, wherein the first portion is made of an electrically conductive material. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the first portion is electrically connected to a communication module of the electronic device and configured as an antenna. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising at least one surface having a surface roughness different from the first surface roughness. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The electronic device of claim 10, wherein the at least one surface faces, with reference to a second connection portion, a third direction different from a first direction that the first surface faces and a second direction that the second surface faces. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising: a third surface having a surface roughness different from the second surface roughness and formed to be separated from the second surface with reference to a second connection portion. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The electronic device of claim 12, further comprising: a second portion including a fourth surface disposed adjacent to the first surface and parallel with the first surface and a fifth surface disposed adjacent to the second surface and parallel with the second surface, and a sixth surface disposed adjacent to the third surface and parallel with the third surface, wherein the second portion is made of an insulating material. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The electronic device of claim 13, further comprising: wherein the fourth surface and the fifth surface and the sixth surface are configured to include a substantially identical surface roughness. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the housing further comprises: a front plate; a rear plate facing a direction opposite to the front plate; and a side member configured to surround a space between the front plate and the rear plate, and wherein the first surface corresponds to the side member, and the second surface corresponds to the front plate or the rear plate. ### Claim 16 An electronic device comprising: a housing including a first portion that includes an electrically conductive material and a second portion disposed adjacent to the first portion and including an insulating material; and an oxide film layer formed on the first portion, wherein the first portion includes a first surface having a first surface roughness and a second surface having a second surface roughness substantially different from the first surface roughness, and wherein the second portion includes a fourth surface and a fifth surface having a substantially identical surface roughness to the fourth surface, wherein the oxide film layer has a first film portion is disposed on the first surface and a second film portion extended from the first film portion is disposed on the second surface, the first film portion and the second film portion having a substantially uniform roughness; and an end section of the first film portion and an end section of the second film portion facing the first film portion formed at the same position. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The electronic device of claim 16, wherein the oxide film layer is configured to include a substantially identical thickness on the first surface, the second surface, and a first connection portion between the first surface and the second surface. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The electronic device of claim 16, wherein the first portion is electrically connected to a communication module of the electronic device and configured as an antenna.
