Corners of the screen don't react to touch

I have bought this phone only to play games on it and as you know, most played ones are in landscape mode. In landscape mode, the top left and right corners of the screen aren't sensible to touch. And as you may know, the "BACK/EXIT" buttons in games are usually placed in the corners of the screen and this makes touching them or other commands (depending on the game) really annoying as I must press multiple times until it actually senses the touch and sometimes miss an important action when I need to react fast. Can you report this error and fix it in future updates please?

P.S.: All 4 corners have this problem, but I'm only bothered while playing games, so you should check them all.

It's a "feature" of the game genie... When you open a game app, you can swipe down from the top corners to open the genie... There's a little toggle button on the right side, maybe the left, but in that menu that overlays at the bottom, there's a block corner touch control. You can disable it, or adjust how large the field of touch blocking is in the lower corners... I don't know precisely, but this may be the issue? Sometimes you have to swipe twice to get the menu to appear, but try swiping? But yes, the edges touch is very poor. It's like the grid doesn't reach or it doesn't work there at thee edges, but swipes do work from the edge like the edge touch tool

Ps. Same person I realised after I posted that above, we might have dud phones mate. I have this edge and corner touch issue too. In Oddmar - fun silly game - edges and corners are hard to touch.

I have played Odmar too for my youtube channel and I like it really. As forr the game genie, that feature is turned off. I was sure to test all features of the phone first before writing anything, but you are perfecctly right with the swipe. It is weird that it works perfectly, but when I want to touch some buttons or objects in games that are situated near the edges or corners especially, the touchscreen barely responds.

As for the function you were talking about, it would be way better to be able to make the exact edge untouvhable instead of only corner area. We should be able to set a certain thickness of an edge to make it untouchable, because sometimes it would come in handy as I am holding the phone and the edges touch.
