Not 99.9% of the ones in our household they don't! :-)  Ok, mine is
not a mainstream one (but bought because it reputedly has very close
to 'standard' Android apps), but the other is a Moto which is pretty
'ordinary'.

 My Motos do recognize dot codes in the supplied camera app. Maybe yours
is too old.

IIRC they (and other Androids) do for more than 10 years by default.
