Hi ,
I am trying in one of my project to detect if a user is using Mobile or Tablet.
so that based on Device I can redirect the User i.e. send mobile user to mobile site and send

Tablet user to desktop site.

I am using 51degreemobil Free version but it's free Lite version is not providing any detection between Mobile and Tablet it treats Tablet as an mobile .

Also

I have used a lot of online solution available but all of then didn't work for Andriod devices
as User agent is same for Andriod Tablet and Mobile device.

Might be detecting screen size solve this but i dont want to use this as i need to implement this on client side and t will increase my page load time.

Can anyone please help me on this.

Thanks

You did not provide information about "available online solutions". So, have a look at SO:
How to detect device is Android phone or Android tablet?[^]
Determine if the device is a smartphone or tablet?[^]
How to detect system information like os or device type[^]

Note: Google[^] returns about 15 000 000 results (in 0.48 s)
