Features

There’s tens of thousands of mobile phones out there, all slightly different, which makes working with mobile technologies tricky and time consuming. So, we created Handset Detection. A real time, self updating, database of thousands of mobile phones.

If you’re building mobile websites, delivering mobile content (wallpapers, ringtones, icons, video etc..) or sending Java games to mobile phones then Handset Detection is built FOR YOU.

  • Handsets

    Our massive database of over 40000 mobile devices (and growing daily) means we've got you covered. Device information includes vendor, model, screen size, handset capabilities and more, heaps more … See the Handset List for the whole box and dice.

  • Smarts (Yes, it learns)

    Never be out of date! Handset Detection is updating itself with new handsets all the time. At last count we had 1329324 browsers, bots, crawlers, cell phones and game consoles in our database, and its increasing by about 2208 per day (give or take). Thats the great thing about being plugged into so many websites.

  • GEO IP
