Comparison review
HTC U11 has a global score of 77.6, which is slightly better than the LG G3's global score of 76.4. The HTC U11 is a noticeably newer and thinner device than LG G3, but it's heavier. LG G3 has a little faster processing unit than HTC U11, because although it has an inferior number of cores and lesser RAM memory, it also counts with a graphics co-processor.
LG G3 counts with a more vivid display than HTC U11. They have the same exact 2560 x 1440 resolution, a greater number of pixels per inch of display and a screen with the same size. HTC U11 has a much bigger storage to install games and applications than LG G3, and although they both have an external SD slot that supports a maximum of 128 GB, the HTC U11 also has more internal storage.
HTC U11 counts with just a bit better camera than LG G3, because although it has a worse 3840x2160 (4K) video definition and a camera with a lower 12 megapixels resolution, it also counts with a much bigger diafragm aperture to capture better images and video in poorly lited situations and a larger back camera sensor which gives a higher image and video quality.
LG G3 and HTC U11 both count with very similar batteries.
Although HTC U11 is a better device, it is way more expensive than the LG G3, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as LG G3. If you are trying to save a few dollars, you can get the LG G3, giving up a couple features and specs, but you'll get the most with your budget.
