The Motorola Moto G is tooled with a smaller (4.5 inches) IPS LCD display that can render a higher resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. While the screen is smaller, this device is actually the thickest of them all (dimensions: 129.9 x 65.9 x 11.6 mm). It is also the lightest of the three, weighing 143 g.
Sony equipped its other device with a larger 5 inches TFT display that renders the same screen resolution as the Xperia M2: 540 x 960 pixels. This device weighs 153 g, which makes it the heaviest. The dimensions of the handset are: 141.5 x 74.2 x 8.9 mm.

The Sony Xperia M2 is powered by a Cortex A7 processor (quad core working at 1.2 GHz) which is paired up with the Snapdragon 400 MSM8926 chipset from Qualcomm. The smartphone supports 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage space (if you choose to use a microSD card, you can expand the internal memory by up to 32GB).

The Motorola Moto G is also powered by a Cortex A7 processor (quad core that works at 1.2 GHz) but this processor is paired up with a different chipset: Snapdragon 400 MSM8226 from Qualcomm. The device supports 1GB of RAM and it can be purchased with two variants of internal memory: 8GB and 16GB (there is no microSD – meaning that the memory is not expandable).
