overall Lumia 730 ticks all your boxes especially camera ,battery life,office docs,music and screen
if you are keen on android,Moto G is good but frankly based on your needs i feel the 730 is a better option
as for apps and games nearly all are present on windows phone but id suggest checking out the windows phone store site for more info

Thanks guys for suggestion. I am not biased towards any OS (Android or Windows).
My first phone was android and second was windows.
So this time i want whatever the best comes in my range :).
