You can download app from play store using which you can check the working of all the hardware/software parts.
I've no idea how to check if the replaced display is original or not.

what you want is to check the waterproofing because bad repair shops only fix the screen but dont fix the air pressure so double check that. Official repair shops also reseal the phone after fixing.

Well, with resealing i mean they make it water resistant again. The s7 should have sensors in the phone that can state the air pressure so you know that its done right or not.
So what would be the correct air pressure in a well sealed phone?
This makes no sense to me, but if u can, please, check your pressure. I'm willing to test this theory. My phone had it's back glass repaired in official service store.
The pressure is 1009.41 hPa.

Well, its hard to compare the pressure stats because its different all over the world. But you can check yours by softly squeezing the phone and look if the numbers go up and stay up while squeezing and dont go back down. There is a youtube video on this with a sony phone but the basic stays the same.

Can't agree on that. There is a difference between samsung's and sony's waterproofing. Samsung didn't hermetically seal the S7, because there is a screen behind the speaker grill that allows the air to go trough, but not water. So, when squeezed, the air will go trough the speaker grill.

you are right. but the air goes slow. so the pressure rises and then slowly goes to the normal value. samen when you stop squeezing the phone. pressure drops under normal value and slowly rises

normal value is the pressure without squeezing the phone

Yes, totally correct and I tried that, but that doesn't indicate anything.
