Which should you buy?
The OnePlus 15 is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 12.6 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
Pick the OnePlus 15 if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. The biggest gaps in its favor are antutu, front camera, battery capacity, among others.
Pick the Nord 4 if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. Its strongest claims are weight.
Both ship with comparable main camera, refresh rate, 5g support, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the OnePlus 15 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
