Phone is not air tight after chassis replacement?

[Jeffrey04]

My phone chassis got dented and I sent it for replacement because it caused the power button stucked in the pressed position. After spending a week at the workshop, I finally got it back last night. However, through the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#* -> service tests -> pressure sensor), the number didn't increase (it increased for a while before dropping back to the original figure) after squeezing the phone (previously the number would stay higher if I squeeze the phone). I showed it to the service center counter staff and they said it is fine and if anything I can send the phone back for warranty claim. Does that mean the phone is not air-tight, and hence losing water resistance?

While the counter staff said I can do a warranty claim if anything happens, but I just want to know does that mean my phone is not air-tight/water resistant anymore?

@Jeffrey04;

If your phone was repaired in an autorized Sony repair centre there is no reason for the phone not keeping is IP65/68 water resistance.

Regarding the pressure sensor reading it is normal, even with all caps closed and keeping the pressure on the display, that the pressure decreases to its normal value as the air slowly comes out.

The phone was never air tight.

It was water tight to ip68.

The fact that the pressure sensor goes up, then settles back, means the device is correctly protected.
