Comparison review
The HTC U Ultra is a bit better than Xiaomi Mi 5c, getting a 77 score against 72.4. Despite being the best in this review, it must be told that it's also just a little bit thicker and much heavier. The Xiaomi Mi 5c features a bit better processor than HTC U Ultra, because although it has a lower amount of RAM memory, it also counts with more cores.
HTC U Ultra features a little sharper screen than Xiaomi Mi 5c, because it has a just a bit better pixel number in each inch of screen, a bit bigger display and a better resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. HTC U Ultra captures slightly better photos and videos than Xiaomi Mi 5c, and although they both have the same 30 fps video frame rate, the same resolution camera and the same (4K) video resolution, the HTC U Ultra also has a bigger aperture to take better photos and videos in poorly lited situations.
HTC U Ultra features a much greater storage capacity to store more apps and games than Xiaomi Mi 5c, and although they both have the same 64 GB internal storage, the HTC U Ultra also has an external memory card slot that allows up to 1,95 TB. The HTC U Ultra features a little better battery life than Xiaomi Mi 5c, because it has a 5% more battery capacity.
Although HTC U Ultra is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than Xiaomi Mi 5c, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Xiaomi Mi 5c. So if you want that extra features, you can buy HTC U Ultra, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and buy the Xiaomi Mi 5c, letting go a couple features and specifications.
