Device detection using form_factor
Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2020 4:23 pm
Hi,
We use multiple capabilities to detect device type which I'd like to consolidate.(Current WURFL version 1.11.4.0.)
I was wondering if just using virtual capability "form_factor" serves the purpose to detect device types. Based on https://www.scientiamobile.com/capabilities, possible values for form_factor are Desktop, Tablet, Smartphone, Feature Phone, Smart-TV, Robot, Other non-Mobile, Other Mobile.
-Can you provide some examples of Other non-Mobile and Other Mobile which do not fit into other categories?
-Is there any default value that form_factor returns if device does not fit into any defined category?
-Is it recommended to use other capabilities like is_smart_phone, is_smart_tv, is_full_desktop is addition to form_factor to detect a device type?
e.g. For a smart_phone , form_factor = smartphone AND is_smart_phone = true
Device types I am mainly interested in are desktop, smart_phone, smart_tv, tablet and feature_phone.
Thanks in advance.
