Problem description

The SelectField element gives a poor user experience on mobile - it's so small that it's difficult to select items - which is why mobile browsers created the modal / popup to select an item.

Proposed solution

It would be fantastic if SelectField was able to detect if mobile, and enable that default browser experience if so.

Or, even simpler: have it as a setting like useBrowserSelect, and let the user decide when they want to enable it

I like the idea of having a property to enables this behavior. It's a tradeoff that users might be willing to take.

Hi @oliviertassinari is this now working the way @toddmedema proposed? I don't see any reference to this on the docs.
