I don't understand why you have difficulty reading this User Agent. It clearly says that it is Chrome version 33, running on HTC One M8 phone with Android 5.0.1 :)

Hi, User-Agent header is defined by HTTP 1.1 Standard as per previous article -- all information can be found on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agentFormat_for_human-operated_web_browsers
User-Agent string format is as follows:
Mozilla/[version] ([system and browser information]) [platform] ([platform details]) [extensions].
Please read the Wikipedia article - it has all the information you need.
