Nokia screens were glass and it was unusual to crack those.
Extending the bezel to the edge of the phone means there's no "crumple zone" to absorb energy of impacts - that shock goes to the screen.
Personally I think a mobile phone that looks lovely but has little chance of surviving metre drop is a design fail.
Modern phones are stupidly flimsy.
The 3210 glory era of 'indestructible' Nokias had the glass under plastic (polycarbonate?), and weren't touchscreens.
That was also the big era of replaceable phone cases. I think people who are worried about the frailty of the phone buy secondary-market protective cases these days.
The screen kinda has to be made of glass, and even Dow Corning's finest will break if it hits a hard surface. I believe synthetic sapphire is available for watches and smartwatches but not for any actual phones?
Best solution is a case with rubberised corners.
