Hmm, yes, I did not try these but I have noticed that my default phone app in my S22 is freakishly fast at detecting QR codes, something I never remember that zxing was.

Does anyone know if these are today implemented in neural networks or something? Specialized hardware? Or just very well optimized. Sometimes it feels like only 1 frame in the camera is enough, and distance, angle, lighting and focus is not important.

I'm pretty sure the decoding is done on each frame individually, so as long as you get a single good frame, you scan it
