I am setting up a matrix server for community use and later found NGINX log entries with detailed device model and Android version (including the 3rd-party ROM used), example:
Please consider do not add such detail to the user-agent string, this unnecessarily compromises user's privacy (to server owner and reverse proxy like CDN), and complicate server owners' setup (I had to set NGINX to log to /dev/null for this.), application version and Android version (11, 12, 13 or so) is already more than enough.
