Final words:
All of the hardware specifications of this phone are more or less matching with the exception of 64-bit hardware support is not there and a HD display is there in the Moto G.Recently launched ASUS Zenfone 4 A450CG I believe all of the features are equal to HTC Desire 510 with some differences like 8MP and battery capacity and 64-bit.
Even you have an option of ASUS Zenfone 5.
I believe this will come a little bit costlier as compare to all of those compared here but none of them gives you 64-bit support.
So you still have a some more options to consider if you think it will be costlier for you.
Yes there will be definitely some advantages on the 64-bit processor over the legacy 32-bit processors.
