But then my address book contains thousands of names collected over the years on Gmail. Actual people I call is less than 5.I think besides obvious differences in features there are two things that should stop you from getting HTC Desire 816:
Also here is a naive comparison based on features of all three of them:
Connectivity: HTC>Moto/Nexus - HTC has dual SIM support which kills the competition in connectivity depending on your requirement.
Winner - HTC
Screen: Nexus>Motorola>HTC - Nexus and Moto are protected by Gorilla Glass 3 but HTC doesn't have any protection. Also PPI levels of both Nexus and Moto are higher than HTC but considering the screen size differences in these sets I think you can ignore PPI.
Winner - Nexus
CPU/GPU - Nexus>HTC>Moto - Nexus and HTC are both quad-core snapdragons where as Moto X is dual core. Now you may argue how sometimes dual core is as efficient as quad core but I think think this not the case. Nexus has a highly powerful processors followed by should-be-enough-powerful-for-most processors of HTC and Moto. Now GPU confuses me, so no verdict - even though all three will play everything you throw at them.
Winner - Nexus
RAM - Nexus/Moto>HTC - 2/2/1.5. Although 1.5 should be enough too but the more the merrier.
Winner - Nexus/Moto
Camera - HTC (13 mp)>Moto (10 mp)>Nexus (8 mp) - HTC has the best camera imo. I have used Nexus's camera - wasn't impressed.
Winner - HTC
Storage - HTC/Moto/Nexus - Just saying this because of external storage option for HTC. Can be totally opposite for you. Moto X scores most points for 64GB internal but I think that hasn't been released in India. Also 32GB of Nexus is enough for many. But HTC has merely 8GB internal with external support of 128GBs!
Winner - Draw
Battery - HTC>Moto>Nexus - Just based on some comments on GSMArena. Also I have witnessed just average battery life in Nexus 5 hence HTC must win this part.
Winner - HTC
Now the big daddy - PRICE - HTC/Moto > Nexus - I think this should sum it up. This is a big difference in Nexus's price and that of Moto and HTC.
Winner- HTC/Moto
Hence I totally don't find a killer reason for buying Moto over HTC while price kills it for Nexus.
So my choice - HTC.
And if you look into smaller Indian/Chinese players, there is a huge night of comparisons and thoughts waiting for you.
- Software Update cycle compared to Nexus or Motorola (Big one, and mostly decisive for me).
- Service centers and customer support.

Regular
Moto X(bought this for my wife) - I have never seen any jitters when playing games like Temple run, subway surfers. But occasional lagging happens on my note 3 which has better specs.
Active notifications is a very good feature. Tried using app that mimics this functionality on note 3- but that drags down the battery life. With exclusive low powered core on Moto X, this works great .
Always on Google interactions really works. But then it's for showing off initially.
Display bright & vibrant - though I prefer Note 3 display .
Camera is average. But front camera selfies sorts of comes out well.
Speaker sound level is good (not as loud as note 3). I like the sound quality in Moto X speaker.
Probably this will be the phone that I wouldn't put any custom ROM as stock firmware/features is almost perfect.

A good hardware can be Tweaked for Excellent performance, but if you try to tweak a 512MB RAM based phone, you are already on cheapest possible device running android, and still wanting more.
Recently a Good 3G phone Karbonn A-16, reduced its price by 3.5K
so people who bought it at 7K, felt they are buying some basic 3G device, but now its 3999/- what would you say to that.
It also has Mali 400 and can run even a couple of Decent games like dead trigger 2 etc
Not Bad for 4K INR.
I would consider it a decent Low cost Budget Bridge till you watch the upcoming Manufacturer fight with specs and price
and then buy the phone you earlier think it was out of budget.

No not the processor - dedicated cores but single processor, but I think they are mostly for things you might not want a dedicated core for?chromaniac said:
I mean things like Voice assistant, switching to driving mode automatically. That camera thing is cool though.
They are cool but over a period of time I tend to use my phone for call, sms, email, a bit of camera, games & music and whatsapp. But that's me. People should love Moto for their innovation. I do. But that isn't drastic.
Also I forgot to mention - Notifications in Moto just kills every notification style out there. And this is one feature that is actually pretty useful.
