I have a Sony Xperia Tipo mobile (Sony ST21i). The app page says my phone is not supported by my app. My phone has all the above feature and my app is running good on my phone.
The Google Developer site says the following as the required features though I have not explicitly defined any uses-feature tag in my manifest.
This application is only available to devices with these features, as defined in your application manifest.

It appears to be an issue with Google's Android operating system. To fix the “your device is not compatible with this version” error message, try clearing the Google Play Store cache, and then data. Next, restart the Google Play Store and try installing the app again.
Uninstall and reinstall Play Store updates Tap Apps & notifications/Application Manager (depending on your android device). Tap Google Play Store. If you don't see it, tap See all apps or App info. At the top of the screen, tap the three dots then tap Uninstall updates.
The error appears when the Play Store thinks your device isn't compatible with the app you're trying to download. This doesn't mean that there's an issue with your device. The error means the app developer hasn't chosen your device for their app (for their own reasons).
The use of android.permission.CAMERA implies android.hardware.camera and android.hardware.camera.autofocus as said in Android documentation (see last table in this page : http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html).
As your device don't have autofocus it is not able to download your app. You should add :
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" android:required="false" />
Check whether you REQUIRE the autofocus feature. Most phones get filtered out on that.
