1. Budget? 12K..(+1K if needed)
2. Display type and size? between 4-5''
3. Dual sim? not mandatory
4. Preferred choice of brand? anything other than samsung or mmx...fed up with those crap :-x
5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)? camera is not of much importance...regular cam will do....flash will be an added advantage
6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc). android & only android
7. Preferred connectivity options (3G, 4G ready). 3G would suffice
8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)? calling, music/videos, ocassional gaming
9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration? Xiaomi Mi3 but very much concerned about service centre & availability
10. Any other info that you want to share

Go for xiaomi mi3. Far better then moto g. Perosonal experience with both. Gifted my dad mi3 and moto g is owned by my best friend and one of my best friend's dad. I tried both moto g when they were bought.

Mi3 advantage over moto g

Better camera(full hd recording with both camera)
Will upload pics taken by my mi3 tonight.
Dual flash
Front facing camera is also good
Screen size and dpi is much better
Battery backup is better
Has better rom then moto g
(Moto g inbuilt stock os is not that good. Mi3 miui has tons of useful features)
Mi3 looks premium and even feels like a premium handset. It stands apart from all the similar looking handsets.
Gorilla glass 3 protection

Wifi a/b/g/n/ac over moto g wifi a/b/g/n which makes mi3 compatible with all wifi ac devices. Which means future ready. Wifi ac gives better speed and range.

Processor is snapdragon 800. Much better then moto g.

Ram is 2gb.

If your budget is around 14k then get Xiaomi Mi3 it will thrash moto G in every department else get moto g if budget is concern.
