Except if you're using QR codes as a communication medium between online device and airgapped hardware wallet. Tongue
Sure, but you can imagine how small that userbase is. ~snip~
I know! I'm still interested in these results since I personally use such wallets.
The other reason to scan QR from a screen would be if your Bitcoin storage is on a smartphone wallet or hardware wallet, used through a smartphone app. There was a time where I switched between computers a lot and would use a phone as primary Bitcoin wallet.

The other reason to scan QR from a screen would be if your Bitcoin storage is on a smartphone wallet or hardware wallet, used through a smartphone app.
Take a screenshot of the QR code on the device that generates it and send it to yourself via email. Or save it in your email as a draft. Then access your email from your desktop device, open the image with the screenshot, and scan the QR code from the laptop/PC screen. You don't have to scan anything with a phone from another phone's display that way.

Just wondering if after a year it's time to buy my next phone or are there other people seeing this issue too?
Probably, Pixels and iPhones have best cameras/software, but I wouldn't buy new phone just for this Smiley
I think that scanning QR codes depends mostly on software and camera device that are used.
If one of this components are bad or low quality you will have issues with scanning QR codes sometimes, especially in conditions that are far from perfect.
I also found out there are so many QR codes, and they are not always compatible with each other, or they can be more or less complex.
