Create and Construct

The Nord 4 combines robustness and a modern aesthetic with its unibody metal and glass back. It feels sturdy and high-end because of the perfect integration of the back and frame. Its aesthetic appeal is enhanced by the antenna lines at the bottom. Although there is a chance of dents if it is dropped, the metal rear panel is an impressive feature that many will find useful.
