Make sure to request a vacuum / pressure test

Hi
My guess is that some devices are trully waterproof and some not
For ex my z3c back glass in upper right corner it feels that is mooving slowly when it's pressed with finger . For sure in that spot water will go inside my phone but likely I will not take it in the pool 🙂
Going with my device into repair center I doubt that it will be repaired or replaced
I also tried a preasure test and the preasure is slightly increased when screen is pressed but i really have doubts about waterproofing 🙂

Regards

I must be honest. I've loved the waterproof feature of all the Z series so far and have trusted it without ever having cause for concern.....

...Until Z3
I've put it in water to test for a few mins each time with no problem a few months later on I've done it again and all seemed fine also, then it just switched off. Would not power on for about an hour after being dried off. Upon powering up all was fine.
I just can't help but think "some" water got in, not loads but enough.
Enough for me to not feel too comfortable with full submersion any more.
