Comparison review
The Apple iPhone 8 is better than the HTC U11 life, with an 85 score against 74.5. The Apple iPhone 8 body is a little bit thinner but a bit heavier than HTC U11 life, and both of them were released only a couple of months apart. IPhone 8 features a display that is just as good as HTC U11 life's screen, although the iPhone 8 has a little less pixels per inch of display, a bit smaller display and a much lower 750 x 1334 pixels resolution.
The iPhone 8 has a slightly better memory capacity to store more games and applications than HTC U11 life, because although it has no SD memory card expansion slot, it also counts with 256 GB internal storage. IPhone 8 has a bit faster processing unit than HTC U11 life, because although it has lesser CPU cores (but faster) and a smaller amount of RAM, it also counts with a 64-bits CPU.
The HTC U11 life counts with a way better battery performance than Apple iPhone 8, because it has a 43 percent greater battery capacity. IPhone 8 counts with just a bit better camera than HTC U11 life, because although it has a worse 3840x2160 (4K) video definition and a back camera with lot less mega pixels, it also counts with a larger aperture to capture better photography in poorly lited environments.
Although iPhone 8 is a better device, it costs a lot more than HTC U11 life, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as HTC U11 life. So if you need that extra features and specs, you can buy iPhone 8, but if you don't you can save some dollars and buy the HTC U11 life, resigning a couple features and specs.
