Put this bool resource in res/values as devices_config.xml or whatever (file names don't matter here):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <bool name="portrait_only">true</bool>
</resources>

Put this one in res/values-sw600dp and res/values-xlarge:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <bool name="portrait_only">false</bool>
</resources>

Then, in the OnCreate method of your Activities you can do this:

if (Resources.GetBoolean(Resource.Boolean.portrait_only))
{
    RequestedOrientation = ScreenOrientation.Portrait;
}

Devices that are more than 600 dp in the smallest width direction, or x-large on pre-Android 3.2 devices (tablets, basically) will behave like normal, based on sensor and user-locked rotation, etc. Everything else (phones, pretty much) will be portrait only.

Based on this answer

Just in case, it's possible that you see some autorotations when changing activities, so if that's the case you can check this answer to fix it
