Yes this desktop/phablet mode thing would be dynamic. It can change at
any time, which is why it needs to be detected dynamically.
When you connect bt keyboard & external display, phone is now in desktop
mode. When you flip back your laptop's touchscreen, it's it now phablet
mode. It already does the first one except there is no API to let
developers know for certain what mode it is in.
**MUCH** better user experience if you do feature detection, eg "if
push_notifications_available: enable_push_notifications()", this way
they work everywhere they exist, rather than trying to guess whether or
not they exist by making assumptions about what is a "phone" vs what is
a "desktop".
It really depends on what you are doing.
We can either provide an API to do so or developers will try and guess
these things on their own.
