Comparison review
Apple iPhone 7 Plus has a global score of 83.8, which is just a bit better than the HTC U11's general score of 77.6. The Apple iPhone 7 Plus body is just a little bit thinner but somewhat heavier than the HTC U11, and both were only released with a few months difference. HTC U11 counts with just a little better processing power than iPhone 7 Plus, because it has a higher number of cores (and they are faster) and a greater amount of RAM.
The HTC U11 counts with a bit sharper display than iPhone 7 Plus, and although they both have a screen of the same size, the HTC U11 also has a higher resolution of 1440 x 2560px and more pixels per inch of display. The HTC U11 features a little bit better camera than iPhone 7 Plus, and although they both have the same video frame rate, the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition and a 12 mega pixels camera in the back, the HTC U11 also has a larger sensor which offers a higher image and video quality and a larger aperture to capture better photos and videos in poorly lited environments.
IPhone 7 Plus counts with a much better memory to install applications and games than HTC U11, because although it has no external memory card slot, it also counts with 192 GB more internal memory. The HTC U11 counts with just a little bit longer battery performance than Apple iPhone 7 Plus, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity instead of 2900mAh.
Although iPhone 7 Plus is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than HTC U11, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as HTC U11. If you are trying to save some dollars, you can buy the HTC U11, and give up some specs and features, but you'll get the most with your budget.
