Comparison review
The HTC One M9 has a score of 77.7, which is slightly better than HTC U Ultra's overall score of 77. Despite of the fact HTC One M9 is older and somewhat thicker than the HTC U Ultra, it's design is still just a little bit lighter. HTC One M9 has a greater hardware performance than HTC U Ultra, because although it has a lower amount of RAM, it also counts with a 64 bits CPU, a graphics co-processor and more processing cores (although slower).
HTC One M9 features a little more vivid screen than HTC U Ultra, although it has a much lower resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a little bit lower pixel density and a little smaller display. HTC U Ultra features a lot bigger storage for applications and games than HTC One M9, because it has 64 GB internal memory capacity and a slot for an external memory card that admits up to 1,95 TB.
HTC One M9 shoots a bit better videos and photos than HTC U Ultra, because although it has a tinier aperture which is not nice for capturing photographs and video in poorly lited environments and a tinier camera sensor offering a worse image quality, and they both have the same 30 fps video frame rate and the same 3840x2160 video quality, the HTC One M9 also counts with a back facing camera with lot more mega-pixels.
The HTC U Ultra has a little longer battery life than HTC One M9, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity instead of 2840mAh.
HTC One M9 not only is the best phones of the ones we are comparing here, but it's also by far the cheapest one, making it a no doubt choice.
