Comparison review
The HTC U Ultra has an overall score of 77, which is a little bit better than the Apple iPhone SE's general score of 75.7. The HTC U Ultra construction is newer than the Apple iPhone SE's, but it's a lot heavier and a bit thicker. The HTC U Ultra counts with a little better performance than Apple iPhone SE, because it has a larger number of cores (and they are faster) and a greater amount of RAM.
The HTC U Ultra has a slightly better display than iPhone SE, because it has a much bigger screen, a lot better resolution of 1440 x 2560 and a lot better pixels density. The HTC U Ultra has much more memory capacity to install applications and games than iPhone SE, because although it has less internal memory capacity, it also counts with an external memory card slot that holds a maximum of 1,95 TB.
HTC U Ultra has just a bit better camera than Apple iPhone SE, and although they both have a back-facing camera with a 12 mega pixels resolution, the same 3840x2160 video resolution and the same 30 fps video frame rates, the HTC U Ultra also has a larger aperture to capture better low light photography and videos and a way larger sensor.
HTC U Ultra counts with a superior battery duration than iPhone SE, because it has a 3000mAh battery size instead of 1624mAh.
Although HTC U Ultra is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Apple iPhone SE, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Apple iPhone SE. If you prefer to save some money, you can get Apple iPhone SE, letting go a couple features and specs, but you'll get the most out of your budget.
