The iPhone XS counts with a little more vivid display than HTC U11, because although it has a little bit lower 1125 x 2436 resolution and a just a little worse pixels density, it also counts with a little bigger display.
Apple iPhone XS counts with a little better hardware performance than HTC U11, because although it has less CPU cores (but faster), and they both have a 4 GB RAM memory, the Apple iPhone XS also counts with a 64-bits CPU. HTC U11 counts with a way bigger storage for apps and games than iPhone XS, and although they both have equal 64 GB internal storage, the HTC U11 also has a SD memory slot that admits up to 128 GB.
HTC U11 features just a bit better battery duration than iPhone XS, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity. The iPhone XS counts with a slightly better camera than HTC U11, because although it has a smaller aperture which is worse for low-light photography, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, the same sensor size and the same resolution back-facing camera, the iPhone XS also counts with faster video frame rate.
Although Apple iPhone XS is a better device, it costs a lot more than the HTC U11, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the HTC U11. If you want to save some dollars, you can get HTC U11, and give up a couple features and specs, but you will get the most with your savings.
