The answer is mostly easy to figure - when you open it from the Googleplay Market and look at its description page it tells you if your device is compatible with this application or not. (It won't even let you install it when registered as non compatible)

 

Generally i'd say yes the 2 Gigabyte RAM should be good enough to run it stable and as supposed.

And it apperently ran problemfree on Nexus 7 devices already: http://iliveisl.com/lumiya-on-the-google-nexus-7/

So 10 should be more than okay as well.

 

...how well it's graphical mode is...

One thing is for sure: you can't await it to have the quality of a full desktop computer viewer like the LL Secondlife Viewer or Firestorm etc. It's only an app for the limited hardware capabilities of such mobile devices.
And especially the graphical experience is way less compared to a desktop computer.

As far as lumyia goes it has a limited view distance of just 20 meters and other hardware based restrictions which you can find on their homepage. And no building functionality, inventory restrictions etc.

These apps are generally 'to stay in touch' and chat with your SL friends / customers and see a little bit of your surrounding world, but never a replacement for a full viewer / and desktop machine.

I run Lumiya on a Nexus 7. While it's definitely the most feature-packed mobile viewer I've used, it is still very limited in terms of graphics. It renders most avatars acceptably well, including mesh, and claims to be SSB-ready. Frame rate slows to a crawl when more than a couple of avs are present, though, and any mesh using a deformer is often heavily distorted.

I find it an excellent way to stay in touch with SL when I'm away from home, but nothing like a full SL experience. Given how tough SL graphics can be on even the most powerful hardware, it does amazingly well.
