Our suggestion

Both Smartphones have dual core processor but Galaxy Nexus has a little more powerful processor. Galaxy Nexus has also i inches larger screen than iPhone 4S. But iPhone 4S has 8 MP camera while Galaxy Nexus has only 5MP camera.
If you are a iPhone supporter then you do not need to leave iPhone and should buy iPhone 4S because it has all essential and powerful features those iPhone 4 do not have. But if you are not an iPhone lover than you must go with Galaxy Nexus because it has much better features if we exclude camera quality.
