Hello @faisalman, A similar problem has occurred with Galaxy Note 9. Could you please check as well?

The result from https://uaparser.dev is as below.

  "ua": "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 10; K) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/127.0.0.0 Mobile Safari/537.36",
  "browser": {

  },
  "os": {
    "name": "Android",
    "version": "10.0.0"
  }
}

But using ua-parse-js(1.0.38), the result is as below(device is empty).

I'm trying to use the library in our project, and this is exact issue we facing. Seems vendors are trying to market these tablets as desktop replacement. "linux"iswhat is really upsetting me

galaxy s9 on browserstack. android is never cited. Even worst, we dont know the model

I experience a similar issues while using test devices on browserstack:

In this example device is missing type field while based on the operating system it's obviously a mobile device
