LG G5 takes a bit better videos and photos than HTC U Ultra, because although it has a smaller back camera sensor taking less light and dull colors, and they both have the same (4K) video quality, the same video frame rates and a same size aperture, the LG G5 also counts with a camera with a way better 16 mega pixels resolution.
HTC U Ultra has a greater storage for applications, games, photos and videos than LG G5, and although they both have a slot for an external memory card that admits a maximum of 1,95 TB, the HTC U Ultra also has 64 GB internal memory.

So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy the HTC U Ultra, else you can save a couple dollars and get the LG G5, letting go a couple specifications.
