Comparison review
Xperia Z5 has an overall score of 77.6, which is a little bit better than HTC U Ultra's overall score of 77. The Xperia Z5 body is just a little bit thinner and just a little bit lighter than the HTC U Ultra, although it was released just 18 months before. The Xperia Z5 counts with a little bit better performance than HTC U Ultra, because although it has a smaller amount of RAM, it also counts with an additional graphics processor and more cores (but slower).
The Sony Xperia Z5 has a bit more vivid display than HTC U Ultra, although it has a much lower resolution of 1920 x 1080px, a little bit smaller display and a quite lower pixels density. Xperia Z5 captures a little bit better pictures and videos than HTC U Ultra, and although they both have the same video definition, the same 30 frames per second video frame rate, the same aperture and a 0.43 inches sensor, the Xperia Z5 also has a much more megapixels camera.
HTC U Ultra has a lot bigger memory for apps and games than Xperia Z5, because it has a slot for an SD memory card that holds a maximum of 1,95 TB and 64 GB internal memory capacity. HTC U Ultra has just a little better battery life than Xperia Z5, because it has a 3000mAh battery capacity.
Xperia Z5 is not only the best devices in our current comparison, but it's also a bargain compared to the other devices, which makes this phone a great choice.
