Comparison review
HTC U Ultra has a global score of 77, which is a little bit better than Moto X4's 74.4 overall score. The HTC U Ultra is a a bit heavier phone than the Moto X4, but both of them have the same thickness. Moto X4 features a little faster processor than HTC U Ultra, because although it has a lower amount of RAM memory, it also counts with a larger number of cores.
HTC U Ultra features a little more vivid display than Moto X4, because it has a higher resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels, a quite larger display and a bit better screen density. The HTC U Ultra has a greater memory capacity to install games and applications than Moto X4, and although they both have an external SD slot that supports up to 1,95 TB, the HTC U Ultra also has 32 GB more internal memory capacity.
HTC U Ultra's battery duration is just as good as the battery duration in Moto X4. The HTC U Ultra features a little bit better camera than Moto X4, and although they both have a same resolution back-facing camera, the same 30 frames per second video frame rate and the same (4K) video resolution, the HTC U Ultra also has a larger camera aperture to capture better low light images and videos and a larger back camera sensor capturing more light and vivid colors.
Although HTC U Ultra is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Moto X4, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Moto X4. If you want to save a few dollars, you can get the Moto X4, letting go a few specs and features, but you will get the most out of your savings.
