The HTC U Ultra along with the HTC U Play has been announced officially on Jan. 12 and like the LG V20, the Ultra is HTC's newest phablet with a dual display. Unlike other manufacturers, HTC has not been in the phablet line of product that long and it released only one 5.2 inches phablet in 2016.

Phandroid has compiled some of the top of the line phones in the market to compare with HTC U Ultra, which the company would need to keep with these manufacturers if it wants to compete with them. LG V20, Pixel XL and iPhone 7 Plus are some of the huge competitors of the Ultra.

The display size is a vital part of a phablet as it what makes it a phablet. The HTC U Ultra has 5.7 inches display with 2560x1440 resolution while the LG V20 has the same display that includes a secondary display, the Pixel XL and the iPhone 7 Plus share the same 5.5 inches display although the iPhone has the lowest resolution at 1080p.

Although HTC calls the secondary display for the Ultra as dual display, it's doing almost the same thing as with the LG's secondary screen with quick information as well as shortcuts at the top of the display. With regard to the camera, the HTC U Ultra has a bigger front camera than its rear camera with 12 MP UltraPixel and the front camera has the ability to switch UltraPixels for low-light to standard megapixels in better lighting. The Pixel L and iPhone 7 Plus both have the same 12 MP camera except LG V20 with 16 MP.

As for performance and battery, the HTC U Ultra is running a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor and 4 GB of RAM, which is the same with Pixel XL. With the battery life, the Ultra might not be a champ here as it only has 3,000 mAh battery, which is smaller compared to LG V20 and Pixel XL as the iPhone 7 Plus is also smaller.

According to Phone Arena, HTC hopes to do well with its U series. It will be released in Taiwan later this month. What do you think with HTC's UItra? Let us know in the comments below!
