Samsung S4 stock browser incorrectly(?) labelled as Chrome Mobile

[clark-pan]

Samsung's S4's stock browser is possibly being incorrectly labelled as 'Chrome Mobile', version "1.0".

Heres the platform object as json:

{
    "version" : "1.0",
    "name" : "Chrome Mobile",
    "os" : {
        "architecture" : 32,
        "family" : "Android",
        "version" : "4.2.2"
    },
    "description" : "Chrome Mobile 1.0 on Samsung (Android 4.2.2)",
    "layout" : "WebKit",
    "manufacturer" : "Samsung",
    "prerelease" : null,
    "product" : "Samsung",
    "ua" : "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.2.2; en-au; SAMSUNG GT-I9500 Build/JDQ39) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/1.0 Chrome/18.0.1025.308 Mobie Safari/535.19"
}

Now what i think the issue is that, the new S4 stock browser is actually using a bastardized version of Chrome Mobile, but locked at version 18.0.1025.308. They've also included their own "Version" which in platform's logic makes it think it is Chrome Mobile Version 1 (doesn't exist)

I'm unsure of how to fix this though; Should we label this version of Samsung Galaxy s4 as the 'stock browser' or should we correct the Chrome Mobile version detection logic to label it correctly as Chrome Mobile 18.

Any thoughts/advice?

Can you test this with the latest edge version of platform.js?

I'm not getting this issue anymore. platform.description now is 'Android Browser 1.0 (like Chrome 18.0.1025.308) on Samsung Galaxy S4 (Android 4.2.2)'.
