It's a very quick and high quality QR scanner able to easily scan very high density QR codes from Pixels. Every 2 seconds, it will refresh auto focus, auto exposure and auto white balance on the scanning square. It has - full support for zooming in and out. Support for other kinds of barcodes will - be added in the future, but adding them transparently would result in getting - false positives and would substantially harm the QR scanning capability. It - will need to be done in a way offering more control without having an overly - complex user interface.

+ full support for zooming in and out. The torch can be toggled with the button + at the bottom center. The auto toggle at the bottom left can be used to toggle + scanning for all supported barcode types. Alternatively, you can select which + barcode types it should scan via the menu at the top. It only scans QR codes + by default since that provides quick and reliable scanning. Most other types + of barcodes can result in false positives. Each enabled type will slow down + the scanning and will make it more prone to false positives. This is generally + fine for simple codes but it would be quite difficult to scan a dense QR code + with all types enabled.

Camera permission is the only one that's required. Images and videos are stored via the Media Store API so media/storage permissions aren't required.
