### Environment
SaaS ([https://sentry.io/]())
### Version
*No response*
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Setup mobile app project (I'm using the RN SDK but I doubt it matters).
2. Setup Slack alert that reports the `device` tag.
3. Send event to Sentry from a mobile device.
4. See Slack notification disagrees with the UI about what the `device` tag value is.
### Expected Result
Consistent result between Sentry UI and Slack alert.
Looks like the Slack notification takes the underlying model number but the UI translates it to a more friendly "marketing" name.
### Actual Result
Sentry UI:

Slack notification:

Ideally these metrics should give a quick sense of app or runtime health, … while deeper investigation will still rely on traces or profiles.
Examples**:**
* Node.js runtime metrics (e.g., event loop delay, heap usage)
* Prisma-related metrics in Next.js
* Mobile CPU / memory usage to help surface potential ANRs or app hangs
