When you scan a QR code

[Breezy98]

When you scan a QR code on galaxy tab a11+ box should the code match the text below them for all the QR codes on the box?

I would presume so, but I didn't have to scan when I got mine.

Would you mind checking with your phone for me please and tell me if the biggest QR code on the box matches the text below it ?

[WithAHammer]

It might be a few hours; I'm on break at work at the moment, so might be about 5 hours before I can get to it. (Sorry about the delay.)

Thanks incredibly much for the help

Hello @Breezy98,

That is an interesting question and upon review, it appears that the QR codes on our boxes often lead to web links, product information, or setup guides.

The visible text next to or below the QR codes generally describes the destination of the link or provides a generic label instructing users to scan the code for additional information and options.

So to answer your question no the text below will not match as the space dedicated is too small for all our encoded URL characters word-for-word.

Thanks incredibly much for everything

The largest QR code on the box doesn't match the text below it and i was incredibly worried

No, not necessarily. Different QR codes can have different purposes. As long as they scan to legitimate Samsung information and match the device/package details, that’s generally fine.
