I'd go for moto g 2nd gen if i had an option
between the two the SOC i.e. on Sony device is better than that of Samsung.
Samsung has the near latest android version kitkat.
I'd go for SP for better gaming experience as it has Adreno 320. For gaming it might beat moto g.
Plus Sony packs hd screen in 4.6 in

How ? The SD 410 should provide same, if not better performance to two generation old Dual-core 1.7 GHz Krait.. Im speculating without any actual evidence but can you point me to any benchmarks or real world gaming test where SD 410 is inferior to sony's Xperia SP..
In my opinion, OP should wait, im sure there are more SD 410 phones oncoming, especially the new Xperia refresh

There are a lot of similar threads like this one, but people just have to create a new thread every time.
Now:
Grand Prime Pros:
SD 410
5 MP Front Cam
Grand Prime Cons:
crapwiz will make the 1 gb ram feel like 512 mb
No chance of lollipop update, sub 20k samdung phones never get proper updates. thus the sd 410 is wasted.
TFT Display
540 x 960 screen resolution
lacks Gorilla Glass or Dragon Trail for screen protection
Xperia SP Pros:
720 x 1280 screen resolution
Corning Gorilla Glass
Snapdragon MSM8960T Krait
Adreno 320
Xperia SP Cons:
Stuck on buggy 4.3 officially
TFT Display
VGA Front Cam
Now if you weigh the pros and cons, SP seems a better overall phone. But Moto G (2014) seems better than both.
Its good to read the bold part though

Xperia SP has the older Adreno 320 which was on the Nexus 4..
PS: im not in anyway saying the samsung phone is superior..my point being better to wait for newer Xperia Refresh

Between two i would go for xperia SP.

Yeah but adreno 320 is much faster than adreno 305/306.

neither will. TouchWiz is a bloat so even with proper h/w experience will be far from smooth. SP on the other hand is abandoned by Sony with (buggy) JellyBean which even with superior h/w will result in poor experience. you can go for either of them and learn the hard way why most members here are recommending Moto G.
just a small note: don't compare micromax with asus. both are leagues apart.

Sorry my bad. Checked the benchmarks of moto g and Sony xperia sp. looks like snapdragon 400 is better thus 410 being a improvement. but you got to agree with adreno 320. its better than 305/6

Ok if i increase the budget a little more by 2k-3k or more.
Which good mobiles i can get by moving budget a little.
Please suggest some good phones by increasing 2-3k more.

Xperia ZR and Moto X (2013)
Don't know if you can get Nexus 4 that cheap.

thats true but i must add- both phones have poorly optimised versions of android-bloaty touchwiz and buggy 4.3 so the superior hardware isnt really useful unless the software is properly optimised for it
- - - Updated - - -
theres also the one plus one if you are willing to spend more and are adventurous etc
but either way ,Moto is the safest bet overall in terms of software updates and hardware,after sales etc
one plus one is impressive but after sales are still being set up so its all down to preference
+1 to moto x (2013),trust me you don't need anything else.

Moto X has same specs as Sony Xperia SP.why spend more for buying the same specs as Sony Xperia SP.Plus it is also a question that Moto X will receive Lollipop.
Sony Xperia ZR has better specs.Should i consider it.

Moto X has amoled screen, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB internal, 10mp camera, 2mp front cam and will get Lollipop update. so how does it has the same specs as xperia SP?
ZR will get lollipop according to sony's statement. So its worth considering for 17k.

Where is Xperia ZR is available at 17K?
I can see it is available at 19K.
Only the SoC is same doesn't means the phones have same specs.
ZR was available for 17k for very long time. Don't know why they've bumped the prices up.

Moto X is a very decent phone.Better than ZR.
It will definitely recieve Lolipop.

Unfortunately OP se naa ho paayga....go with ZR bro
(Though lemme mention stock android fluidity and ease ki baat hi Alag hai trust me it sets a new benchmark)

xperia z series suffers from overheating and self cracking screen issue
i suggest moto g 2014 or moto x 2013 instead

and stock android(or near stock actually,no bloat though),dont forget stock android

how can you say this about it.
ZR is better than Moto X.
- - - Updated - - -
what are you saying about?
I can see some fanboys here.
K
See dude specs never matter.
Sony ZR and Z use same unoptimized SOC's and there's overheating problem.
Whereas Moto is very heavily optimised.
Also Moto X Interface is much better Sony's.
Bonus is the Sensor and Moto Voice.
Sony has bad speakers because of waterproofing certificate.
K
yep plus self cracking screen
even if its 1 in 10 or something,its still a concern just like iphone 6 bend issue
There is a reason I have become fan of moto and trust me on this it is really hard for any company to gain my fanship
(Btw my good friend has xperia SP, I have tried it too ,but my friend on using my phone found it much more easy to use and snappier,though now he has an iPhone 5
)
Moto X and not Xperia ZR or SP suffers from screen cracking problem. Xperia Z1, Z2 and Z3 suffer from self cracking screen. But Xperia ZR and SP doesn't have self cracking problem. Moto X's screen doesn't self crack but still the screen is very delicate and cracks very easily.
Just google Moto X screen cracking problem and you can check the search results yourself.

Xperia SP returns same results as SP.
P.s - I have nothing against Moto X but I think Xperia ZR is more durable.
