Comparison review
HTC One M9 is a little bit better than HTC U Ultra, having a score of 77.7 against 77. The HTC One M9 is an older and thicker phone than HTC U Ultra, but HTC made it just a little bit lighter anyway. HTC One M9 counts with a little more vivid screen than HTC U Ultra, although it has a little bit inferior amount of pixels per inch in the display, a bit smaller screen and a way worse resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
HTC U Ultra counts with a way bigger memory to store more apps and games than HTC One M9, because it has 64 GB internal memory capacity and an external memory slot that supports a maximum of 1,95 TB. The HTC One M9 counts with a better performing processing unit than HTC U Ultra, because although it has lesser RAM memory, it also counts with more CPU cores (although slower), a 64-bit CPU and an additional graphics processor.
The HTC U Ultra counts with a little longer battery lifetime than HTC One M9, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity. The HTC One M9 shoots clearer photos and videos than HTC U Ultra, because although it has a smaller camera sensor which gives a lower image and video quality and a smaller aperture which is not so good for low-light photography and video, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition and the same video frame rate, the HTC One M9 also counts with a way higher resolution camera.
Even being the best phone of the ones we are comparing here, HTC One M9 is also very cheap compared to the other devices, making this phone an obvious call.
