One check that I liked was the return (window.innerWidth <= 384 && window.innerHeight <= 640); for smartphone, but user can resize their window and it would return true.

One fix is to use:
return (screen.availWidth <= 384 && screen.availHeight <= 640) or return (screen.width <= 384 && screen.height <= 640)
