Comparison review
The Apple iPhone XS has a global score of 84.2, which is a little bit better than the HTC U11's 77.6 overall score. Apple iPhone XS's body is newer and just a little thinner than the HTC U11's, but it's just a little heavier. Apple iPhone XS counts with a little sharper screen than HTC U11, because although it has a little lower screen pixels density and a little bit lower 1125 x 2436 resolution, it also counts with a little larger screen.
The iPhone XS counts with just a little better processing power than HTC U11, because although it has less cores (but faster), and they both have a 4 GB RAM, the iPhone XS also counts with a 64-bit processing unit. HTC U11 has a much greater storage to store more games and applications than Apple iPhone XS, and although they both have equal 64 GB internal storage capacity, the HTC U11 also has a slot for an SD memory card that admits up to 128 GB.
The HTC U11 features a bit superior battery duration than iPhone XS, because it has a 13% more battery capacity. The Apple iPhone XS takes a bit better pictures and videos than HTC U11, because although it has a smaller aperture which is not nice for low-light photography, and they both have a same size sensor, the same resolution back-facing camera and the same (4K) video quality, the Apple iPhone XS also counts with better 60 frames per second video frame rates.
Although iPhone XS is a better device, it costs a lot more money than the HTC U11, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as HTC U11. If you prefer to save some money, you can buy HTC U11, letting go a few features and specs, but you will get the most with your savings.
