Indeed. Recently, I saw an article from a professional photographer
who recommended 'PhotoScan by Google Photos' for scanning photos.
Because I didn't remember the name, I just now did a Google search on
'google scan app for android' and Google's 'AI Overview' came up with
'PhotoScan by Google Photos' (which amongst others offers glare removal,
auto-cropping and smart rotation), but also mentioned the scan function
in the Google Drive app.
Just now, I quickly tried the latter and I find it amazing! I put a
brochure on the table, just pointed roughly at it and got a perfect
scan! The scan contained only the brochure, not any part of the table
and the brochure was perfectly upright. You can save in PDF or JPEG
format. Of course the 'down side' is that the scans are saved to your
Google Drive, but if you use that anyway, it's no issue and you can
always download the Google Drive copy to some other place and then
delete it.
As you say, the quality of these scans depend on the quality/
resolution of your camera and the resolution (dpi) of most scanners is
much higher than the comparable resolution of a phone camera, but for
many uses, the results from a phone scan will be more than adequate.
