HTC U Ultra has a little more vivid display than Google Pixel, because it has a little bit higher display pixels density, a higher resolution of 1440 x 2560px and a little larger display.
Google Pixel has a CPU that's very similar to the CPU in HTC U Ultra, both of them have 4 cores and the same RAM amount. HTC U Ultra features a slightly better camera than Google Pixel, because although it has a camera with lesser MP and a worse 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution, and they both have the same camera sensor size, the HTC U Ultra also counts with a larger diafragm aperture.
The HTC U Ultra has a lot bigger storage capacity for applications and games than Google Pixel, because although it has only 64 GB internal storage capacity, it also counts with a slot for SD memory cards that supports a maximum of 1,95 TB.
