Which should you buy?
These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (67 vs 64.6). The decision is not about overall quality — both clear the bar — it is about which specific trade-offs fit your use.
Pick the Edge 50 Ultra if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. The biggest gaps in its favor are wireless charging, ram, wired charging, among others.
Pick the ThinkPhone 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, weight.
Both ship with comparable main camera, refresh rate, 5g support, so those specs do not separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity says both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
