In React-Native you can use react-native-orientation to lock the orientation of the device. Then, you can use react-native-device-info to get informations on the device and lock the orientation accordingly.

So here in your case you cant do via android manifest. you need to dynamically change orientation based on device.

So you have to build a native module. expose it to react nativeRN-native modules

and use it based on your type of device. Its a very easy native module like you have to setOrientation

@ReactMethod
public void setOrientation(String type) {
  if(type == 'landscape'){
 setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
}
  if(type == 'portrait'){
 setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
}

}

so basically this method will be exposed to your react native side. you need to detect the type of device.

Hope it helps. feel free for any doubts.
