Flat glas is a feature though, not a bug. A rim around the glas would make it awkward to hold and interact with gestures, as you swipe in from outside the screen. Usually the glass is curved too (2.5D edge they call it), which makes it more likely to hit.

I'm sorry your phone broke. I'm not sure what glass it uses. My OnePlus 6 uses Corning Gorilla Glas 5 and despite countless drops (6 mo without screen protector and case, mostly on wood) and scuffs on the aluminium frame and the glasses, no glass breaks yet. It's very confusing.

I can't find anyone else with your other issues, so it seems like you might have gotten a rare bad device.

I want a vertical rim, not an horizontal rim. Like, if I put the phone face down (to not damage the camera lens) I want a 1mm of plastic around it so that it's not directly sitting on the glass.

I live on an active volcano which is continuously throwing volcanic ash around, so every surface is covered in overly abrasive dust. But even without that. It'd make sense, so when falling it wouldn't hit directly on the glass but there would be a plastic buffer.

Not a very good one I guess. The deep scratches it has are not due to ash. And again my older samsung phone had none of those issues with the glass.

Google seems full of people with nokias restarting by themselves, so I don't know how you can say that it's my special issue.
