Well, the title says it all. Through my interpretation I think the LG is better spec wise, but I am not quite sure. Would love some input on the matter in order to make this decision.

May money and cost/performance not be an issue, just pure performance.

I would take the iPhone 4s as the camera and screen on the l90 is horrible. Lg better specs? No. The specs sheet is pretty sad for l90. Iphone tend to age better than andriod phones due to prolonged system updates. On the flipside, ios has its issues with iTunes, lack of expandable storage and lack of customization options.

Well, I was stating the specs since the LG has a 1.2 GHz Quad Core and 1GB of RAM whilst the 4s only has a 1GHz dual core with 512MB of RAM, among other stuff. I'll have to check better, thanks for the input. +1 for the iPhone :)

With processor isn't not that simple. Iphone usually have better processor ad low clock speeds than lg counterpart. The specs are very deceiving. The same way and i3 4130 and fx 6300 despite fx processor having 4 extra cores and running at faster frequency, smartphone SOC are like any other cpu. You have to run tests to know which one is better.

Stupid of me.... Should easily have concluded that CPUs on smartphones are the same as in computers, with AMD and Intel...... welp..... thanks again!
 


If money is not an issue, why are you looking at old and low end phones? 5s if faster and should be found at pretty low cost now that the 6 has been out a while. If you want a faster phone that is available for cheap, the LG G2 or G3, Samsung S4-5 are good.

Money isn't an issue because the LG L90 and iPhone 4S are the same price here, which means 280€. I wouldn't call that low cost :p, not high end price, but certainly not that low. I mean, almost half the top tier iPhone 6 base version.
 


Ah you mean the cost between them, not in general. I'd just look for a used one from a private party, seems you are looking at new prices from the carriers. That's a big price difference from the US, I got my wife an L90 for $100 from MetroPCS and you can get a 4S just about free from many carriers and they are about $100 on the used market, or less.
