The present disclosure relates to an electronic device and a method capable of allowing a pressure sensor to accurately sense a pressure value regardless of environmental factors, a change in elasticity of an elastic layer, and a change in an inter-electrode layer gap, wherein the method may include determining, using the pressure sensor, a pressure level while there is no external pressure against the front plate and adjusting at least one threshold level for the electronic device to use when there is an external pressure against the front plate, based at least in part on the determined pressure level.
