Which should you buy?
The MIX Fold 4 edges ahead on the Mars Score (65.8 vs 71.4), but the 5.6-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Nord 4 if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. The biggest gaps in its favor are wired charging, weight, pixel density, among others.
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 do not 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.
