Responsive web design is not functioning properly on oversized smartphones

It seems like phone manufacturers are making our job more difficult with the introduction of larger phones. The Bootstrap Responsive Web Design is responding as a tablet instead of a phone, causing issues with the dropdown menu (hamburger menu) not showing up properly. This can be frustrating when trying to navigate on smaller devices in landscape mode.

For example, I designed it to display as col-xs-12, but it is rendering as col-sm-12 on phones, making the regular menu too small and difficult to tap.

Below is the code snippet for the header:

<header>
    <div class="header">
        <nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
            <div class="container">

                <div class="navbar-header">
                    <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
                    <span class="sr-only">MENU</span>
                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                    </button>
                    <a class="navbar-brand" href="/"><img src="images/banner.png" alt="banner" /></a>
                </div>

                <div class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-right" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
                    <ul class="nav navbar-nav" id="navigation">
                        <li class="active"><a href="/">Home</a></li>
                        <li><a href="about.php">about</a></li>
                        <li><a href="testimonials.php">testimonials</a></li>
                        <li><a href="services.php">services</a></li>                
                        <li><a href="contact.php">contact</a></li>    
                    </ul>
                </div>
            </div>
        </nav>
    </div>
</header>
