Comparison review
The LG G5 is a little bit better than HTC U11 life, having a 76.1 score against 74.5. The LG G5 body is just a little bit thinner than the HTC U11 life, although it's somewhat heavier and was released around 19 months before. LG G5 has a little more vivid screen than HTC U11 life, because it has a little larger screen, a better resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels and a better count of pixels per screen inch.
The LG G5's memory capacity to install applications and games is just as good as the HTC U11 life one, they have exactly the same 32 GB internal storage capacity and a slot for SD memory cards that holds up to 1,95 TB. HTC U11 life counts with a little faster processing unit than LG G5, because although it has a lower amount of RAM memory, it also counts with more 2.2 GHz processing cores.
The LG G5 has just a little bit longer battery performance than HTC U11 life, because it has an 8% more battery size. The LG G5 captures a bit better pictures and videos than HTC U11 life, and although they both have the same 30 fps video frame rate, the same 3840x2160 video resolution and a back facing camera with a 16 MP, the LG G5 also has a bigger aperture to capture better captures in low light situations.
Although LG G5 is a better device, it is way more expensive than the HTC U11 life, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the HTC U11 life. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy LG G5, else you can save some dollars and buy the HTC U11 life, letting go some features and specifications.
