How to read QR codes on a Doogee S95 Pro?

First of all, we must be clear that it is a QR code. QR codes are codes that contain information that can be read by a camera, QR codes are two-dimensional, that is, it is necessary for the Doogee S95 Pro camera to read both the width and the height of the QR code and can contain more information than a barcode (one-dimensional).

QR codes are often used to open a web address from a mobile device such as the Doogee S95 Pro using its Samsung S5K5E2 camera or if used with a specific application, it can offer information about a product, service or serve to authenticate a user.

5- Fifth step:

From the Google Lens application of the Doogee S95 Pro, we make sure that we are using the rear camera Samsung S5K5E2 and point it at the QR code that we want to read, trying to make it appear correctly focused and contained within the square or at least within the display space, that is, not we can get the camera too close to prevent the code from being cut off or blurred.

The QR code must be fully visible on the Doogee S95 Pro screen, the code does not have a top or bottom, so it does not matter from which angle we approach it.

Through a third-party application

If the above methods are not available on your Doogee S95 Pro, it may be due to a different version of the operating system (S95 Pro comes from the factory with the Android 5.1 Lollipopoperating system), the customization layer provided by the manufacturer, or You just don't have Google Lens installed.

In this case or in the event that you do not want or cannot use Google services, you will need to download a specific application to read QR codes from an application store.

Check the following article to learn how to install applications without Google Play from alternative stores and how to install Google Play if your S95 Pro does not have it incorporated Google Play alternatives.

Capture QR code from quick panel

It is also possible to read a QR code accessing from the quick panel of the Doogee S95 Pro.

To do this, we unlock our S95 Pro and slide a finger from the top edge of the screen down a few centimeters to display the quick panel in which the quick settings will appear such as connecting to a Wi-Fi network, connecting Bluetooth, mute, airplane mode, etc.

We slide down again with one finger to display the full panel and we will see the option “Scan QR code”. Press and it will take us directly to the camera where we can scan any QR code.
