The camera app I have (preinstalled from Moto) can read QR codes. Links are OK, but it can't handle QR payments. You'd expect the phone to forward it to the right app, but no - you need to open that one yourself and use the scanner in there. There's probably a reason for it, maybe all the banks I use do something wrong and Android is capable of this, but at the end of the day, this doesn't matter. QR codes are more often than not frustrating experience for end users, especially those not tech-savvy enough. It's ridiculous, we can do better than this.
