Unreal engine has a massive amount of support throughout their help documents, answerhub, or their forums. Not to say Unity doesn't have it but there is absolutely enough materials to learn UE4 well if you want to use that engine.
The blueprint system for UE4 is quite useful, but the language it uses for code is C++ which I am sure most people you ask will agree this is harder to learn than Unity's C#

Also, I saw a post stating about cross-platform being able to be done with Unity but he wasn't sure about UE4, Yes you can develop and build your game for I believe PCs, consoles, and phones/devices.

Unity 5

Pros:
-Easy to get into.
-Lower system requirements.
-More platforms supported.
-C# is easy to learn.
-Massive community.

Cons:
-Pro license is expensive if you aren't provided the license by your publisher. (Nintendo gave it to me for free. As did Microsoft.)
-A lot of low quality tutorials.
-Infrequent updates.
-No source code unless you pay. It's not expensive though.

Unreal Engine 4

Pros:
-Easy to use.
-C++.
-Massive community.
-Blueprints.
-Free + Source Code.
-Better startup examples/templates.

Cons:

-High system requirements.
-Less likely to find help from community.
-If you're new to game development, you will NOT finish anything worth selling.
-C++ is harder to learn. Not hard though.
-Smaller marketplace.

Now, notice I mentioned nothing about graphics? There's a reason for that: both engines are capable of the same thing in the hands of a good developer. A bad developer will make a bad game in any engine. Graphics should never be used as a gauge of how good a game engine is for making games.

Assuming you're a beginner, just go with Unity. Unreal has a lot of overhead that a new developer won't be able to comprehend 9/10 times. Unreal is a very good engine. But it isn't perfect. Your first few games will be horrendous no matter what engine you use.

If you're somewhat experienced, which I know you're not simply because you're asking this question, start with Unreal. Unreal is capable of a lot but you need this experience to really utilize the engine the best you can. Using Unreal for a small mobile game is overkill. There's literally no point in it unless you know you're doing, in which case you wouldn't be asking us which is "better."

There is no better engine, worse engine, best engine, etc. It is all subjective and depends solely on the needs and skill of the developer.

Just use Unity.
