This version is very nice and I really liked the mention from @harlan4096 and @Windows_Security about the lite version. That should be a great competition in the so called mid range section. Not sold here? I'm not fully sure what you mean @oldschool . In your area or in the US?

Huge thanks @silversurfer for posting this! Made me finally after several months actually search and find the built-in QR scanner on my Huawei phone. I already had installed an app for it but a bit of waste I thought, until I read the article a bit more.
"Most smartphone QR code scanner apps will instantly redirect the user to the malicious website via the phone’s native browser,"
Chrome! Wish it could open the default browser instead. Opera actually does come with a built-in QR scanner, tap the address bar and click on it's button on the right side, but I can't make it automatic stop open the url/link. Same thing with Chrome.
Huawei use a Photo feature called HiVision ( video below ) for QR codes, language translations and more, not enabled by default. Accessible either through the main camera or a hidden bar on the lock screen. Also, first time using the QR scanner it actually asks before using the automatic redirection option, but here's the sad part. It's either cancel the question or permanent allow. It would obvious be much safer if the question " One time " existed and one could also view the full url before.
Though Googles Play Store is serious infested IMO with too many apps for this simple task and most seem to enforce a bit too many permissions, I found and tested a few apps that should be secure enough considering they don't open urls automatic. Simply done by created a QR code online and added any common ( non malicious ) url and saved the pic.

Norton and Kaspersky has extra built-in security layers. Kasperskys app even comes with a it's own browser. Probably the safest of them all. Still, the last one was the most snappy one and the one I had previously installed and even if it contains ads, it's not annoying IMO.
No, and it's always been annoying to say the least as those updates always been slow. I did though investigate it few months ago and it's the Telcom operators that for some unknown reason holds it back instead of as I first initially thought Huawei. The installed apps gets updated flawless.

I looked online, but I might be wrong with the first one.
It appears that Android updates are passed around before if you receive updates, on a locked phone.
Google > Manufacturer > MNO (Mobile Network Operator) > Manufacturer > You
Except for Apple users where there is no middle-man.
Unlocked phones (Not locked to a MNO):
Google > Manufacturer > Unlocked Phones
Fastest updates:
Google > Pixel users
Apple > iPhone users
