Sony Xperia SP vs Moto G

A

I am going to buy a new phone this week.
I came to Xperia SP and MOTO G 2014
My budget is 14000/-
I was thinking which will be better b/w these two.

Sony Xperia SP's Pros:-

Sony Xperia SP has 4G.
Sony Xperia SP has 319 ppi pixel density.
Sony Xperia SP has Bravia Engine 2
Sony Xperia SP has a smaller screen(4.6 inches)(which is win-win for me).
Sony Xperia SP has NFC.
Sony Xperia SP has Powerful Dual Krait Cores.
Sony Xperia SP has Adreno 320.
Sony Xperia SP has 2370mah battery.

Moto G's Pros

Moto G has IPS LED Screen.
MOto G has 16 GB internal Memory(which is not important for me.)
Moto G has 2 MP front camera
Moto G has Qualcomm 400 quad core.
Moto G is upgradable to Android L.

What i need.

1. I need a small screen.
2. I need a fast processor.
3. I need a better gpu
4. I need a better battery.
5. I need NFC.
6. I don't need upgradable to android L i will be okay with android 4.1.1.

There is no comparison between these two. I would go with Xperia SP.

Is the Dual core MSM8960T Krait cores is better than Snapdragon 400?

Moto G will get Official Android L/M .. you are stuck with 4.3 in SP.
But SP has better hardware

You should get SP since you are not interested in latest android but please do not complain at a later stage that android is too slow or it lag a lot.

Xperia E is a crap phone.I don't think you will face any lag in Xperia SP due to better hardware.

Yes. Xperia sp does lag. Touch responsiveness is not that good and sometimes you can surely experience hiccups during use.

So go for moto g 2014 since android L is bringing a whole new level of smoothness of Android OS. They started with kitkat and I guess they must have improved on it.

My cousin have XP SP, one thing I can say is the OS is not at all optimized and camera quality is very very bad for that price bracket. If these points doesn't matters to you much then you can go ahed. But don't mistake my "OS not at all optimized" words to judge that the OS will lag. I have never seen lagging, but not optimized means specially for camera.

Have u seen the xperia sp personally. Even though it has a all round metal body in my opinion design wise sp is quite old, at least it felt a bit heavy on my hand and its a bit fat too. So i would go with moto g considering its modern design and os.

Xperia so looks much much better than moto if you are looking for looks

I have to make my mind.I will order it online.If you leave the os then the Xperia SP is better than Moto G or not?
The processor on SP is better than G or not?I know that there are many buggy update for Xperia SP there.I will be stay on stock version os.

Better get moto g for better software and for future proof also.

I not want latest os.I just want a powerful phone.

What's the use of getting a powerful phone if it lags and not future proof?

BTW, Xperia sp has dual core s4 pro and moto g has cortex a7 chip.. So I think Xperia sp is good on paper but not really in real life.

I would say, don't just go for specs, look for reviews and performance too.

Moto G With Android L may surely perform better than X.SP

Yes,Good Choice get Xperia SP it is future proof can play all games while same can't be said about moto G.

Though Sony UI is one of the best-Bloat free.. it does lag esp 4.1-4.3, these are bug ridden ,I really suggest you follow sony SP group on fb etc find out about these stuff, then go ahead.. and forget SONY fixing these bugs

Still moto G is what I would prefer you to get.

Xperia SP is more future proof than Moto G because it has better hardware.The only thing that is bad that i will be stuck only to android jellybean.

How much ram is free at idle on kitkat in your Moto G.

About 300-400 mb ram.

If I were you, I would get Moto G/X over a crap SP.Also, Sony mid rangers of last year had the worst displays

Despite having much slower hardware, Moto G is the much faster phone. I'd go for Moto G (2014).

Bhai, xperia SP mat lena, it sucks !!! My frnd bought SP last year for Rs.23k and now it lags a lot, its camera is bad compare to my xolo q800.

Finally he sold on OLX for 9k and bought xolo hive for 12k octa core-2GB RAM

Xperia SP has poor display viewing angles and poor camera. Better to go with Moto G 2nd Gen. You will never regret about your choice. NOTE: THERE IS NOTHING CALLED FUTURE PROOF!!!
