```sql
SELECT * FROM  
(SELECT 'desktop' type,
  NTH(50, quantiles(bytesHtmlDoc)) p50,
  NTH(75, quantiles(bytesHtmlDoc)) p75,
  NTH(90, quantiles(bytesHtmlDoc)) p90,
  NTH(99, quantiles(bytesHtmlDoc)) p99
FROM [httparchive:runs.latest_pages]),  
(SELECT 'mobile' type,
  NTH(50, quantiles(bytesHtmlDoc)) p50,
  NTH(75, quantiles(bytesHtmlDoc)) p75,
  NTH(90, quantiles(bytesHtmlDoc)) p90,

```
