The number of pixels has zero relevance to the quality of a photo.

The world is filled with cheap phones that will make a blurry picture if there isn't perfect lighting or if you move by a single millimeter when you press the button.




Of course. I found it interesting that scanning a document is the exact best case scenario: exposure can be adjusted with the flash, and the document hopefully doesn’t move (I had the previous Motorola G, hand shaking would need to be pretty bad to make it blur when using the flash)


On the contrary I take it as an example of bad case scenario. Texts and annotations can be very small, a tad of blurriness and it's unreadable. The blurriness might not be apparent on the phone screen but it's very noticeable on a computer or TV.

I speak from experience with a cheap phone, having to take 6 photos not moving by a iota hoping one will be good enough. Same shit next month when I will have to take a newer proof of address.
