How to exclude devices with low RAM in Google Play Store?

Question

I would like to distribute my first Android app via the Google Play Store.

However, I want my app to be installed on devices with at least 512 MB of RAM since devices with low memory can crash the app.

It is impossible to find the RAM of each device and exclude them 1 by 1, there are like 3835 available devices that can run my app. Is there a way to do this?

I know this question is old, but still appearing on search results...

With the latest update from the Google Developer Console, now it's possible to exclude a device by RAM:

1. Sign in to your Play Console.
2. Select an app.
3. On the left menu, select Device catalog.
4. Select the "Excluded devices" tab.
5. Next to "Exclusion rules," select Manage exclusion rules.
6. Under "Exclude devices which match any of the following," select the drop-down.
7. Select RAM or System on Chip.
   • To add multiple rules, select the OR button. Another selector will appear.
   • To remove a rule, select the cancel icon.
   • For more information on SafetyNet Exclusions, go to the Android Developers site.
8. Review the device list that appears at the bottom of your screen.
9. Once your rule targets the right device list, save your changes.
