Example 1: Using a Pre-configured Device

var options = new chrome.Options().setMobileEmulation(
    {deviceName: 'Google Nexus 5'});

var driver = new chrome.Driver(options);

Example 2: Using Custom Screen Configuration

var options = new chrome.Options().setMobileEmulation({

    height: 640,
    pixelRatio: 3.0
});
