Which should you buy?
The MIX Fold 4 is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 8.2 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 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. The biggest gaps in its favor are wired charging, weight, battery capacity.
Pick the MIX Fold 4 if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are antutu, ram, front camera, among others.
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 MIX Fold 4 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
