Which is better, HTC U20 5G or HTC U12 life? We compared their features and specs in detail

The size of the body has a big influence on the ease of carrying and one-handed operation. The narrower the width, the easier it is to firmly grasp and hold, but you also have to take into account the device's thickness. Also, if the width and height are smaller, its easier to operate one-handed since its easier to extend your fingers. On the contrary, if the width and height are large, it's difficult to fit in your pocket and is bulky even when put in a bag, and portability is impaired.

The HTC U20 5G has a width of 3.1 inches (78.1 mm), a length of 6.7 inches (171.2 mm), and a thickness of 0.4 inches (9.4 mm). Also, the HTC U12 life has a width of 3.0 inches (75.4 mm), a length of 6.2 inches (158.5 mm), and a thickness of 0.3 inches (8.3 mm).

Comparing the width and thickness of the body, the HTC U12 life is smaller and more compact compared to the HTC U20 5G. For that reason, the HTC U12 life is easier to grip firmly and carry one-handed than the HTC U20 5G. For that reason, we recommend the HTC U12 life.

Comparing the width and thickness of the body, the HTC U12 life is a more compact size than the HTC U20 5G. For that reason the HTC U12 life has higher one-handed operability, and has greater portability, being less likely to get in the way when being carried. For these reasons, we recommend the HTC U12 life.

Comparing the overall size of the two devices, the HTC U12 life has a large size compared to the HTC U20 5G. For that reason the HTC U12 life is a size that is easier to use in one hand and comfortably carry than the HTC U20 5G. That's why we recommend the HTC U12 life.

The weight of the device affects hand fatigue and the burden placed upon the wrist. The lighter it is, the longer you'll be able to operate the device without tiring. Also, if the burden placed on the wrist is lower, you'll be able to use the device more comfortably. However if the weight isn't right for you, it could place more of a burden on your body, causing you to feel stress.

The weight of the HTC U20 5G is about 215.5 oz (215.5 g), and the weight of the HTC U12 life is about 175 oz (175 g). Comparing the weight of the two devices, the HTC U12 life is a considerably lighter smart phone than the HTC U20 5G, and there is a difference of about 175 oz (40.5 g). In terms of the burden placed upon your fingers and wrist, the HTC U12 life is superior to the HTC U20 5G. If you are going for a smart phone that won't lead to hand fatigue even after extended use, and is less likely to place a burden on your fingers, we recommend purchasing the HTC U12 life over the HTC U20 5G.

The size of the screen affects usability and screen visibility. A larger screen means larger letters and buttons on apps, so the user is less likely to tap adjacent buttons by mistake. In addition, the user can enjoy a more intense experience when playing games and watching videos.

The HTC U20 5G has a 6.8 inch display. Also, the HTC U12 life has a 6 inch display. Comparing the screen size, there is a negligible difference in screen size between the HTC U20 5G and the HTC U12 life. As a result, the app buttons on both are equally easy to press. We recommend comparing them based on other aspects of performance and functionality.

Pixel density affects picture quality, and the higher the pixel density, the better the picture quality, which means the user can gain more enjoyment from games and videos. In addition, higher picture quality decreases eyestrain, which means that the user will experience less eye fatigue after prolonged use.

The resolution on the HTC U20 5G is 1080 x 2400, and pixel density is 387 ppi. Also, the resolution on the HTC U12 life is 1080 x 2160, and pixel density is 402 ppi. Comparing the pixel count, the difference in pixel density between the HTC U20 5G and the HTC U12 life is negligible. As a result, they are both evenly matched in terms of picture quality and easiness on the eyes. Therefore, we recommend comparing them based on other aspects of performance and functionality.

Battery performance greatly affects battery life, but greater battery capacity does not necessarily mean greater battery life, since battery efficiency should also be considered. Bigger screens and higher CPU performance will mean the batteries are depleted more quickly.

The HTC U20 5G is 5000 mAh, and the HTC U12 life is 3600 mAh. Regarding battery capacity, the HTC U20 5G has greater battery capacity than the HTC U12 life, with a 1400 mAh difference. If battery is a priority, then the HTC U20 5G is recommended over the HTC U12 life.

CPU performance affects the ability to process programs, and the ability to process programs is determined by the product of the number of cores in the CPU and the CPU frequency. The higher this performance is, the more smoothly apps and games will run, and with low performance apps and games become heavy and stress is experienced.

The HTC U20 5G's CPU is a Qualcomm SDM765 Snapdragon 765G, with performance measured at 2.4GHz+2.2GHz+1.8GHz×8(OctaCore). Also, the HTC U12 life's CPU is a Qualcomm SDM636 Snapdragon 636, with performance measured at 1.8GHz+1.6GHz×8(OctaCore). Comparing CPU performance, the HTC U20 5G has higher specs compared to the HTC U12 life. For that reason, the HTC U20 5G allows for more comfortable use of apps, and games that run more smoothly. That's why we recommend the HTC U20 5G over the HTC U12 life.

RAM affects multitasking ability and the stability of apps. The larger the amount of RAM is, the more stability there will be even in situations where multiple apps are running simultaneously, allowing for comfortable use. In addition, animation will be more smooth, and apps will be less likely to freeze or crash. Also, without sufficient RAM, there are games you won't be able to run, so it is necessary to be careful.

The weight of the HTC U20 5G is 8GB and the weight of the HTC U12 life is 6GB. Comparing the devices in terms of RAM, there is almost no difference in the amount of RAM of the HTC U20 5G and the HTC U12 life. For that reason they have about the same level of multitasking performance and 3D game and VR smoothness. That's why it is better to make a comparison in terms of other aspects of performance and functionality.

Storage capacity affects the amount of data that is capable of being stored. The larger the storage capacity, the more pictures you can take and the more applications you can install. In addition, if your smartphone accepts SD cards, then you can increase its storage capacity. However, there are performance related drawbacks, including a slower data transfer rate than the primary memory, and you cannot transfer all your data on the card, so be warned.

The data storage capacity of the HTC U20 5G is 256GB. Also the HTC U12 life is 128GB. Regarding storage capacity, there is a negligible difference in storage capacity between the HTC U20 5G and HTC U12 life. As a result, you can save roughly the same amount of pictures, and install roughly the same amount of applications, on either phone. You are better off comparing them based on other aspects of performance and functionality.

One factor that determines the performance of the exterior camera located on the back of the device (the rear/back camera) is the pixel count. The larger the pixel count, the higher the resolution of the pictures you can take, and the cleaner the pictures will look when printed.

HTC U20 5G has a 48 MP main camera. Also, HTC U12 life has a 16 MP main camera. Comparing rear camera performance, the HTC U20 5G has a much higher pixel count compared to the HTC U12 life, with a roughly 32 MP difference.
