The best way would be to do it at the server level, or back-end level before it even reaches the user. It's a bad user experience to land on a web page, wait for it to load the javascript and then redirect again.

Jayesh answer should work, however In the future it might be handy to design responsively (content that automatically scales to the users screen size) to minimize loading times and maximize efficiency!

There is lots of help on this,

It is done by checking user agent property,

 String userAgent = request.getHeader("User-Agent");
