Under EU consumer law, a consumer has a right to a replacement if a product fails within what would be considered a reasonable lifetime that might be expected for that product. Eg, if you buy a TV, and it fails after 3 years, you could still have a right to free repair/replacement, because a TV can reasonably be expected to last at least three years. Hence, specific warranty periods have no legal standing in the EU.
Given, however, that hairline bezel cracks are purely cosmetic defects which have no effect whatsoever on the functionality of the product, it's doubtful that such a consideration would apply in this specific case.
