Just discovered the quality of photo scanned on smartphone is not bad.

Step-1
Shoot the photo on Smartphone - Samsung Galaxy S9+
Settings - Macro and optimize, no flash light
Illumination - only normal room light

Step-2
Download the file on PC and run
$ mogrify -rotate -90 photo.jpeg

Step-3
Open the photo on GIMP and crop it.

The quality of the positive photo is quite good.  The scanning speed on smartphone is much faster than scanning on flatbed/desktop scanner.

This new discovery changes my way scanning photos.  I won't scan photos on flatbed/desktop scanner anymore.
