Comment:

 The function description of `wp_is_mobile()` is very clear:

 > Test if the current browser runs on a mobile device (smart phone,
 tablet, etc.)

 Generally speaking, user-agent sniffing is considered bad practice and
 should be avoided whenever possible. On the client side, there are great
 libraries like Modernizr which you can use to test for availability of
 individual ''features'', not ''browsers''.
