It seems like Sony might reveal a possible rival to the Moto G at this year's MWC tech show.

According to a recent tweet made by @ViziLeaks, the Sony Xperia G is likely to be announced alongside much hyped Xperia Z2 on February 24 in Barcelona, Spain.

Sony's forthcoming Xperia G is a part of announced D-series, claims @ViziLeaks. From the leaked picture, one can assume that the Xperia G (sitting below the Sony Xperia Z1) may have a 4.8-inch display.

Talking from the design prospective, the Moto G killer appears identical to Sony's high-end Xperia range. Though, rumors have it that the phone might not be waterproof. Well, for the record, the Moto G has nano waterproof coating on the inside and outside.

Moreover, the gossip mongers are optimistic about the coming of Sony Xperia G. The LTE- enabled handset, reportedly, will come with a 4.8-inch 720p HD display, 1.4GHz quad-core processor powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 SoC, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory. Further, the device might feature an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera. Apparently, the device is said to run Android 4.4 Kitkat out of the box.

The other day, a mysterious Sony made phone carrying a model number D5103 was spotted online through leaked benchmarks.

Believe it or not, the Sony Xperia D5103 could be Sony's upcoming mid-range handset, the Xperia G, a rival device to the Moto G.

Sony Xperia G: A game changing smartphone?

Can Sony outdo its rivals in Indian market? A doubt still lingers because we haven't seen Sony's aggression to capture low-end handset market. Sony claims to be a premium phone maker. Yes, Sony has been quite open to challenge Samsung and HTC in India with its high-end phones ( the Xperia Z1, Xperia Z to name a few).

The Japanese giant even tried to make an impact with its successful Xperia C in mid-range segment. With the Xperia G, Sony will look to explore low-end market for the first time, if one goes by the competition (Moto G, Micromax Canvas Turbo Mini A200 and many more).

If Sony is planning to launch the Xperia G in India, what would be its retail price? Will Sony retire its existing Xperia M in coming days? Only time will tell.
