Pick the Edge 50 Pro if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. The biggest gaps in its favor are front camera, ram, antutu, among others.
Pick the Nord CE 4 if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. Its strongest claims are battery capacity.
