Comparison review
The iPhone 7 has an overall score of 81.6, which is a little bit better than the HTC U11's score of 77.6. Even though iPhone 7 and the HTC U11 were only released with a couple of months difference, iPhone 7 is a little bit thinner and somewhat lighter. The HTC U11 has a bit more powerful processing unit than iPhone 7, because it has more RAM memory and more CPU cores.
The HTC U11 features just a bit better display than Apple iPhone 7, because it has a much higher number of pixels per inch in the display, a lot higher resolution of 1440 x 2560 and a bigger display. The HTC U11 shoots clearer photos and videos than Apple iPhone 7, and although they both have the same 30 fps video frame rate, a 12 MP resolution back facing camera and the same 3840x2160 (4K) video quality, the HTC U11 also has a bigger sensor providing a better image quality and a bigger camera aperture to take better low light photography and video.
IPhone 7 counts with much more storage capacity for applications, games, photos and videos than HTC U11, because although it has no SD memory slot, it also counts with 256 GB internal memory. The HTC U11 counts with a really longer battery duration than Apple iPhone 7, because it has 3000mAh of battery capacity.
Although Apple iPhone 7 is a better device, it costs a lot more than HTC U11, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as HTC U11. If you are trying to save a few dollars, you can buy the HTC U11, giving up a couple features, but you'll get the most with your savings.
