Minimum requirements from android devices for TensorFlow support?

Running the example android project on a weak android device such as ASUS ZenPad P01Z gives really buggy and slow results. Same happens when I try running my custom model on the same device.

What are the known hardware requirements or known range of devices that wouldn't be able to run TensorFlow effectively and efficiently?

I think that this is a difficult question to answer as it is too vague. Your definition of efficient and effective aren't clear. The minimum specs as far as I know are a device running API Level >21 (although >=23 recommended).

I have it running a number of devices at a decent inference time but it depends on your definition. You can enter debug mode by pressing your volume key to see why your model is running slow and what your inference time is. I have it running on Nexus 6P, Pixel C tablet and some mid-tier Samsung phones fine.

As these demos are rather simple computations (and not too graphically intensive) then I would suggest looking at devices with decent CPUs.
