Comparison review
HTC U Ultra is just a bit better than the Samsung Galaxy J7 Star, with a 77 score against 73.1. The HTC U Ultra is an older phone than Samsung Galaxy J7 Star, but it's a bit thinner and a bit lighter anyway.

HTC U Ultra features a superior storage capacity to install games and applications than Galaxy J7 Star, because it has a slot for external memory cards that supports up to 1,95 TB and 64 GB internal memory. HTC U Ultra has just a little better processing power than Galaxy J7 Star, because although it has an inferior number of cores (although faster), it also counts with a larger amount of RAM.
The HTC U Ultra counts with a bit better camera than Galaxy J7 Star, because although it has a lower 12 megapixels resolution back facing camera and a tinier aperture which is not recommended for shooting photographs in low light situations, it also counts with a lot larger sensor and a way better 3840x2160 video definition.
The Galaxy J7 Star counts with just a bit longer battery lifetime than HTC U Ultra, because it has 3300mAh of battery capacity.
Although HTC U Ultra is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Samsung Galaxy J7 Star, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Samsung Galaxy J7 Star. If you want to save a few dollars, you can buy Samsung Galaxy J7 Star, and give up a few features and specs, but you will get the most out of your money.
