Google Play won't likely present the app if you have less than 4GB installed. However a manual install of the APK which you can download from DJI might work with 2GB. Performance/stability could be an issue though, depending on how much RAM is free.
Android tablets compatible with Mavic Mini

- Start date
A quick Google shows that tablet as having Android 5.0.2, which won't support DJI Fly, but it's upgradable to 6.0.1, which is the minimum. However, I didn't see if it's 64-bit Android, but that is also a requirement, so it might or might not work -- you'll need to chase down the details.
It's pretty simple, really: A tablet that meets DJI Fly's known Android requirements should work, while a tablet that doesn't won't work (and the app won't even be shown in the store).
Fly is for the Mavic Mini only. Go4 is for the Mavic Pro (2) and an earlier version for Phantoms.
Correction:
Go 4 is for all DJI models since P4 and all Mavics except Mini.
Go 3 is used for Phantom 3.
Fly won't show up in Google Play if you don't have at least 4GB RAM installed, but it still may work with as little as 2GB installed, assuming all other requirements are met. You would have to install manually by downloading from DJI.

The Fire 7 is not on the list in post 2, does it work?
Does anyone successfully use Fire 7, 8, or 10 for DJI Fly?
Fire 10 HD does not work with DJI Fly app. Tested, confirmed, incompatible. Even tried to get around the parsing error when trying to install the app, but gave up. Lifes too short!
Went to a local Best Buy (Toronto area) and tried to install the DJI Fly app on a few tablets. Also tested on a few tablet I own.
I too am in the market for a tablet that will work with my Mavic Mini (and my Phantom 4) and I own most of the tablets above except for items denoted by *. Generally, I'm an android guy.
I bought the iPad as Costco had a good deal on it and to see how it stacks up with my androids, and I will admit, it is a decent piece of hardware (my biggest gripe with Apple is their restrictive software) and works rather well with DJI Fly app and DJI GO4 app. (*****Please note, I have NOT flight tested either drone/app with the iPad, only checked app compatibility and connecting to air crafts which worked).
Sadly the iPad will be going back as it is too wide (174.1 mm or 6.8 inches) to fit into the tablet mount (170 mm) for my Phantom 4 unmodified. Also found that for a few dollars more I can get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5E that has a width of 160 mm and has better specs than the iPad. Bottom line, I am looking for one tablet for both my drones.
I'll attempt a basic flight test of the iPad+MM before I return it. I don't have a tablet adapter for my MM controller so testing this may be "interesting" and limited. I will also do a test of the S5E when i get it.
Hope this helps, folks.

- Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2019) - Will not install.
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S5E - Will install. (not flight tested...yet) *
- Samsung Galaxy S6 - Will install. (not flight tested)*
- Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (2016) - Will not install.
- Amazon Fire 10 HD - Will not install. (I doubt the 7s or 8s will install either)
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (2014) - Will not install.
- Apple iPad 10.2 (2019) - Will install but small screen. Seems to be a phone version but can be zoomed to full screen. (not flight tested)

Costco Canada had a great price on the iPad (CAD $379 + tax), now its CAD $413 + tax. They have a special on the S5E for CAD $ 450 + tax.
Tab S3 9.7" definitely works. It even has the 4GB installed RAM requirement so you can install from Play.
Sorry, I don't have access to any Galaxy Notes but can confirm Galaxy S8+ and Huawei P30 Pro (officially listed by DJI) work well. They are fairly large screens but too small for my aging eyes.
Yes, someone reported using a Note 8 a few days ago. I'm thinking of one of those, myself, because of the 6.3" screen and the really nice 1200 nits brightness. (iPad Mini 4 is 450 nits.)
The 8" Samsung Galaxy Tab (SM-T290), works great with DJI FLy, Go4 & Litchi. It is 64 bit Android 9 and only costs $177 at Costco (Canada). I gave my 10" Tab A, (64 bit architecture but 32 bit Android), to my wife.
My 10" Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 (SM-T830) works great with the Mini. I got a tablet stand and longer cable to connect it and haven't had any issues. Love the bigger screen and resolution.
