Android 6 Marshmallow brings some practical innovations, including the power saving function Doze. We'll explain exactly what the new Doze mode does.

Doze: This brings the new Android 6 marshmallow feature

Little annoys smartphone users more than a half-empty battery that is not charged overnight and therefore gives up shortly before the alarm clock. With Doze - dozing in German - the problem should be a thing of the past.

• Doze is a special power-saving mode that should give your phone battery additional runtime.
• Doze automatically detects when the smartphone is not being actively used.
• If this is the case, Doze activates a sleep mode in which most functions are reduced.
• The phone continues to run and can be "woken up" by apps like the alarm clock, so that you can wake up on time afterwards.
