L90 : + = Removable Battery, IR blaster, Better cam than other two (though nothing extraordinary in that range), Dual sim.
- = Lack of notification LED and light sensor, no OTG support.

SP : += Best performance among the trio ( can run all games available right now without any issues), OTG support, ample battery backup.

- = horrible viewing angles, plenty of sony bloatware preinstalled ( not an issue if you install custom roms), pretty average camera.

Moto G : += Best build quality among the three, Best screen.

- = No expandable Memory, strictly average camera.

Choose any from three, you wont be disappointed for the price you pay for it ;)

Also, Karbonn,MMX are crap ( no one will suggest you those here), Huawei Honor 3C is much better than these chinese rebranders.
