Chrome OS' android implementation on chromebook is seen as a phone device

Reported by jakeand...@gmail.com, Jun 6 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 9592.3.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.10 Safari/537.36
Platform: 9592.3.0 (Official Build) dev-channel terra

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install Viber on Chromebook via Play Store
2. Activate Viber - requires phone number for verification, it goes through the process as if it were a new phone device, but with activation taking place on my real phone. 
3. After activation, Viber on phone requires re-activation, which in turn de-activates it on Chrome OS, and the circle goes on...

What is the expected behavior?
The viber app should install as it does on a tablet device, and not seen as a mobile phone.

What went wrong?
The app seems to detect the Chromebook as a phone, based on the size of the app's window size. 

Did this work before? Yes I cannot remember, before version 59 I believe.

Chrome version: 60.0.3112.10  Channel: dev

I believe this is WAI since viber app only allows 1 device to have the app on one device at a time.
I got around this by setting apps to open in one of the full-screen modes. It then activated like it did on my Android tablet, with a qrcode to scan from Viber on my phone.
