Which should you buy?
The OnePlus 13R edges ahead on the Mars Score (71.3 vs 65.8), but the 5.5-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the OnePlus 13R 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, battery capacity, screen size.
Pick the Nord 4 if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. Its strongest claims are wired charging, weight.
Both ship with comparable ram, main camera, refresh rate, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the OnePlus 13R is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
