In ASP.NET MVC5, how do I get the platform and device type of a mobile user request

Some webapps show a sign-in history, and they can tell that I signed in for example using Android, and with device type 'Samsung GT-I9505'.

I've been looking into the httprequest object in MVC but I cannot seem to find these properties. How can I tell which devices/platforms my users use?

Thanks!

You can use HttpContext.Current.Request.UserAgent

For example : 

string ua = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserAgent.ToLower();
if (ua.Contains("iphone"))
{
    // iPhone
}
else if (ua.Contains("ipad"))
{
    // iPad
}
else if (ua.Contains("GT-I9505"))
{
    // your case
}

For GT-I9505 : http://www.webapps-online.com/online-tools/user-agent-strings/dv/brand125521/samsung-galaxy-s4
