Comparison review
The iPhone 7 has a general score of 81.6, which is better than the HTC U Play's 73.5 general score. The iPhone 7 is a just a bit lighter and just a bit thinner phone than HTC U Play, even when they were only released 6 months apart. Apple iPhone 7 counts with a bit faster CPU than HTC U Play, although it has 4 less processing cores (although they are faster) and a lower amount of RAM memory.
IPhone 7 and HTC U Play count with very similar screens, although the iPhone 7 has a bit lower pixel amount in each inch of display, a bit smaller screen and a way worse 750 x 1334 resolution. The iPhone 7 features just a bit better camera than HTC U Play, because although it has a back camera with a much lower resolution, it also counts with a larger aperture for better low light images and a lot higher (4K) video definition.
The iPhone 7 has a little bit more memory for games and applications than HTC U Play, because although it has no SD extension slot, it also counts with more internal memory. The HTC U Play has longer battery lifetime than iPhone 7, because it has a 2500mAh battery capacity.
Although Apple iPhone 7 is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than HTC U Play, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as HTC U Play. If you prefer to save a few dollars, you can buy HTC U Play, and give up a few specs and features, but you will get the most out of your money.
