From what I know, girls are fond of listening to music. So ask her if available memory would be enough for her and pick something that comes with great earphones.

Lol yea she love music but 11gb will be enough for her.
But since she is not a geek so will moto g be suitable for her considering she will use the basic functionalities only?

^^ android is not for geeks only otherwise it won't be so successful. anybody can use an Android phone. Moto G is a good phone. But before buying take a look @ the moto g discussion thread for known problems and its solutions.

Get a good earphone too, as the one provided in the box with Moto G is not so good.....

Basically-
Minimalism+ Specs-Nokia Lumia 720

720 might be better looking but Moto G looks great too..........
Moreover you have dozens of customization options in Android (now don't say me that its for advanced users........ installing launchers & changing themes are easy stuff)
