Oasis Feng, developer of the popular battery-saving app Greenify, thought the same thing. Wouldn't it be even better if you could just have Doze take over as soon as you turned your screen off? But it does take a while to kick in, sometimes requiring as much as an hour of laying flat and motionless before anything happens. It's definitely a cool feature and all, and it has greatly improved standby time on every Marshmallow device we've tested so far. What it all boils down to is that if you set your phone down on a flat surface, the device uses internal sensors to detect that it's motionless and not in use, then responds by drastically scaling back battery-sucking services until the next time you pick your phone up. Of all the new features in Android 6.0 Marshmallow, an automatic battery-saving function called "Doze" might just be the most interesting.
