When Corey asked Gabe Aul about Microsoft’s plan to put Windows 10 Mobile on devices with 512 MB RAM like Lumia 635, Windows Insiders account replied that “We do not have any plans to put W10M on devices with 512MB”

Not only the devices, but there are few more devices like  Lumia  920, 925, 1020, 1320 HTC 8S/8X, ATIV S which had 1 GB of RAM aren’t getting the update as well. Most of them did not meet the performance expectation even though they where upgraded to Windows 10 Mobile using the insiders program.
