Our take: Moto G emerges as the leader of the pack and has been going out of stocks at a pretty fast pace. Saying that, we do not mean that others are bad choices because for instance, the Q2000 is a pretty good phablet too and the Lumia 720 has already proven its worth. The Canvas HD has been a best seller for an year now and the Xperia M Dual has found itself many takers as well. Choose wisely.
