Comparison review
The iPhone 7 has a general score of 81.6, which is just a bit better than the HTC U11's 77.6 general score. The iPhone 7 is a somewhat lighter and just a little thinner device than the HTC U11, even though both of them were released with only a couple months difference. The HTC U11 has a bit better processing unit than iPhone 7, because it has a larger number of cores and more RAM memory.
The HTC U11 has a little sharper display than iPhone 7, because it has a much better 1440 x 2560 resolution, a larger screen and a lot better amount of pixels per inch of display. IPhone 7 counts with a much bigger storage to install applications and games or saving photos and videos than HTC U11, because although it has no SD memory slot, it also counts with 192 GB more internal storage capacity.
The HTC U11 shoots clearer pictures and videos than Apple iPhone 7, and although they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, a 12 megapixels resolution camera in the back and the same video frame rate, the HTC U11 also has a bigger diafragm aperture for better low light photos and video and a bigger back camera sensor.
HTC U11 counts with a really longer battery lifetime than iPhone 7, because it has a 3000mAh battery size instead of 1960mAh.
Although iPhone 7 is a better device, it costs a lot more than HTC U11, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the HTC U11. If you prefer to save some money, you can buy the HTC U11, letting go some specs and features, but you will get the most out of your savings.
