The iPhone XR counts with a better hardware performance than HTC U Ultra, because although it has 1 GB lesser RAM, it also counts with a 64-bit processor and a greater number of cores (and they are faster).

IPhone XR captures clearer videos and photos than HTC U Ultra, because although it has a smaller back camera sensor providing a worse image quality, and they both have a back-facing camera with a 12 mega pixels resolution, the same video resolution and the same diafragm aperture, the iPhone XR also counts with higher 60 frames per second video frame rate.
