Comparison review
HTC U Ultra is slightly better than Samsung Galaxy A6, getting a global score of 77 against 75.8. The HTC U Ultra is a better phone than Samsung Galaxy A6, we must note that it is also older, a bit heavier and just a bit thicker. HTC U Ultra has a more vivid screen than Galaxy A6, because it has way more pixels per inch of display, a little bit bigger screen and a way higher resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels.
HTC U Ultra counts with a much greater memory capacity to store more games and applications than Galaxy A6, because it has 64 GB internal storage capacity and a slot for external memory cards that allows a maximum of 1,95 TB. The HTC U Ultra counts with just a little better hardware performance than Samsung Galaxy A6, because although it has less CPU cores (but faster), it also counts with more RAM memory.
HTC U Ultra captures slightly better photographs and videos than Samsung Galaxy A6, because although it has a way less mega-pixels back camera and a smaller camera aperture which is not favorable for low-light photos and videos, it also counts with a much better video definition and a larger sensor capturing higher quality videos and pictures.
Samsung Galaxy A6 counts with a battery lifetime that's just as good as the HTC U Ultra one.
Although HTC U Ultra is a better device, it is way more expensive than Galaxy A6, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Galaxy A6. So if you want that extra features, you can buy the HTC U Ultra, but if you don't you can save some dollars and buy the Galaxy A6, giving up a couple features and specifications.
