No LG don't reduce the battery mAh. If they do I'll either keep my LG G3 or switch over to Samsung. Sigh...

    most useless feature if it is on the top like V10 .... place it at bottom or side to get full advantage of it

Only people who will see a difference are those who had bad experience with lollipop update from kitkat (so that it returns to previous levels actually).

          But on the ram side, Nexus are just basic phones with google coding and optimizing their OS for them for 2 years, let's not forget it instead of pointing "Nexus this, Nexus that" each time.
          Any other phone (with advanced set of manufacturers apps and better hardware feats) should get more ram to handle more things or processes easily and to get more future proof (apps tend to get bigger overtime and so Android versions). Even that 32gb storage (probably 23/25gb real) looks a bit light nowadays, but should be ok if it's possible to use a fast microsd as defaut apps storage.

            AnonD-155275, 31 Dec 2015No company will give you that .. They are going to kill the... moreYou clearly know nothing. Huawei mate series have been selling extremely well, given that their battery is +4000mah. The latest Mate 8? Selling like hotcakes (if you dont believe me, check online to see how much they're marked up..some even sold out). The users are not stupid when they shell out $500-600 for a phone, they know what they want and so far only the Chinese manufacturers are getting that.

              You know what helps to improve battery life? Having a big battery and a more efficient SoC...both of which are not software based.

                  If Marshmallow's 'Doze' works as advertised, then OEMs dont need to have a phone with 3000+mAh battery.
                  Can anyone confirm that their Android phone on Android 6.0 has a better battery life?

                    I'm done with LG/samsung/Sony/etc. You can take away functions, but don't fk with screen size and battery capacity. That's why they're all dying slowly.

                            would apple or samsung out such battery I would understand, but lg? I reaaaly want to hear reason from them. Also Always on display got a very bad position and looks. If it was me I would like it at the bottom with edge-less design and please, AMOLED! Its shame how its clear to fail but we cannot do a thing to change that.

                                      WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! LG....that rumored 2800mAh battery and 3GB RAM will be a sure SALES KILLER for many.
                                      I am sorry...i don't care from which OEM, my next device must have a massive battery (removable will be perfect), 4GB RAM for a 2016 flagship, in my view will be nice for LG to implement its own take on front firing speakers instead of a secondary display. I will be fine with a 5.3" QHD screen with minimal bezels and a high 75+% screen to bezel ratio.

                                      The OEM who can deliver these simple but top specs for 2016....a high capacity battery plus fast charging, SD820, 4GB RAM, decent 21MP rear w/a 8+MP front camera, iris/finger print scanner, a 5.2" to 5.5" QHD screen (amoled will be best with decent screen protection Gorilla glass 4, shatter proof etc), close to stock Android 6 build will win lots of hearts
