Inferring Device Type from Screen Dimensions: Suggestions Needed

·Sep 12, 2025 06:14 PM·

Hi all, does anybody have a suggestion or experience on how to infer a device type (phone, tablet or computer) based on screen height or width? I've thrown something together but I'd love to hear other's thoughts!

I do not do it by size but by OS.

Thanks Andrew S., perhaps some helpful context, we're using Rudderstack, which captures the device type and OS for the Android and iOS SDKs, but doesn't for the JavaScript SDK, meaning that for folks using our web app we only have screen size and DPI to really go on.
