What CompareTab says about HTC U23 Aqua vs POCO F9 Ultra
POCO F9 Ultra has clear advantages in memory, battery capacity and display refresh rate over U23 Aqua, with 12 GB of RAM versus 8 GB, 256 GB of storage versus 128 GB, a 8050 mAh battery versus 4600 mAh, and a 185 Hz display instead of 120 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (200 MP versus 64 MP), optical image stabilization on the main camera, a telephoto rear camera, and 100W charging. HTC U23 Aqua, however, is around $330 cheaper and lighter at 205 g versus 235 g. The main trade-off is F9 Ultra’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus U23 Aqua’s lower price and lighter build.
