Which should you buy?
The Pixel 9 Pro Fold edges ahead on the Mars Score (63.2 vs 67.1), but the 3.9-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Nord CE 4 if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. The biggest gaps in its favor are wired charging, weight, front camera, among others.
Pick the Pixel 9 Pro Fold if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. Its strongest claims are ram, antutu, screen size, among others.
Both ship with comparable refresh rate, 5g support, optical image stabilization, so those specs don't 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 tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
