Body/ Build/ Design

When it comes to the build and design quality of these phones, it is safe to say both phones look very pleasing to the eyes. The Edge 50 Fusion weighs in at 174.9g and is built using a Glass front, Silicon polymer back (eco-leather), and a plastic frame. It has a Nano-SIM space, eSIM and supports dual SIM cards. It also supports an IP rating of 68 which makes it dust and water-resistant for up to 30 min, a dimension of 161.9×73.1×7.9mm and a 5000mAh battery capacity.

On the other hand, Oneplus has a more simpler design compared to Motorola, weighing in at a slightly heavier 186g. With that being said, it is still a relatively light phone to hold. It has a battery capacity of 5500mAh, an IP rating of 54 which makes it dust and splash-resistant, hybrid dual SIM, Nano-SIM, Aqua touch technology for use when your hands are wet and a dimension of 162.5×75.3×8.4mm. It also happens to come with a pre-applied screen protector.

I would say the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion has better build materials and it just looks cool in my opinion, even if admittedly, I like the simplicity of the Oneplus Nord CE4.

Colours

Colours are one of the most exciting parts of having a new anything, phones, cars, and whatnot, so naturally, colours would also be a big part in determining a phone’s personal appeal.

The Edge 50 Fusion comes in 3 different colour variant, it comes in Forest Blue, Marshmallow Blue and Hot Pink, and I personally prefer the Forest Blue, it just looks so sick.

For the Oneplus, it also comes in 2 colour variants, which are Celadon Mable and Dark Chrome.

Personally, between the two phones and their colour options, I prefer the Celadon Mable, it gives the Oneplus a simple but unique look, which is something I find attractive, plus, marbles are just straight up beautiful.
