Wait for Moto G to launch officially in India, if you want truly awesome phone.

Else, compromise. Simples.

Wait for Moto G. If you cant wait, Get Xperia L but you have to use a custom rom or stick to stock 4.1.2 if you want a stable experience. The official 4.2.2 update bombards the phone with countless software issues which Sony has not fixed till this post. But the devs are working on the 4.4 AOSP :) ( and Never get Xperia M, its negatives outweigh its only positive aspect - the SoC)

You think that Motorola will launch a phone without giving after sales service?

Xperia L
Galaxy Core
Auxus Nuclea N1
Xolo Q2000
Canvas Magnus

or if you can hold for few months then the Moto G. Personally I wouldn't buy it if launched with a dual sim here in India :)

It will do , But till now it is uncertain who will provide the service and other processes. They must clearify about this :/

those phones in bold are cr@p compared to Moto G. Xperia L stands a chance because of krait and sufficient Developer support.

A big no to galaxy core. I have used it couple of times as some users in my circle own that phone .
I found it to lag at times and the response was not really good.

Thanks for the heads up, I was about to make a purchase but thought I'd drop by and take suggestions here at TDF. Didn't know Xperia M would be so bad considering it gathered so much praise prior to its launch last year.
