Opera Mini, Access/NetFront, Openwave classification updates

Published October 23, 2011 by Richard Uren

Today we’re performing device updates which might have an impact on how you use Handset Detection.

Previously, unidentified Android handsets running Opera Mini would return Opera as the vendor and Mini 5 as the model along with Opera and Mini 5 as the browser, with Android as the OS.  After the todays update we will return Android as the vendor and Generic as model with Opera as the browser and Mini 5 as the browser version. The same applies to Access/NetFront, Openwave and any other mobile based browsers.

This is more keeping in line with our policy where specific hardware can not be determined that it be referred to as having either a generic vendor or generic model.
