You can only read what you can read, same with the phone. Probably means it’s nonsense.
iPhone works fine, Android sees it fine (shows sharp on the screen), QR does not register as QR unless I make it BW 😭😭😭
You can buy fancy android phones too, you may just have to beg borrow or steal for one with a better camera comparable I would think.
It is a fine phone, modern but cheap. Very odd and unexpected. I have a top notch iPhone so not likely to invest into Android premium one.
