From what I've seen doze only really operates during very extended periods of time (i.e. hours) of non-use and even then apps can override that unless you block them from doing so.
MKBHD: "Battery life is.... promising"
uh oh
Vergara: "I got about 3 hours of SoT with heavy use"
uh oh x2
and this is why in real world usage, I think the 5x and 6p will do better than people think (at least I hope). I'm hoping that with Marshmallow and the Doze feature, we'll see better standby times on battery than before with Lollipop (and previous Android generations). If Marshmallow can get close to (or match) the iPhone's standby battery usage, I think the 5x and 6p will do well. Time will tell! It'll be really hard to utilize Doze in the first week of getting the phone because a person will be tweaking, installing apps, and in general, put in through the ringer. Something we have to make sure we do is allow the phone to go into Doze mode to truly test it's standby time on battery.
I'm one of the few people in my circle of friends who have an Android device (Note 4). Virtually all of them have iPhones and they constantly have battery issues. They typically can't get through a day without have to plug in. My fiancee has the 6+ and always has to have a portable charger in her purse because she will inevitably run out of battery.
Ugggghh.... Vergara says 3 hours SoT with heavy use.
The reviewer at Android Headlines is saying 6 ½ hours of SOT.

He says battery life on standby is amazing, but nothing worth noting on SOT
The unboxings begin!

Look at the difference in display saturation between the 5X and 6P! The 5X display looks like the motor XPE I had and boy did I miss the saturation of amoled screens. Can't wait to get my 6P in hand!
And so it begins with the SOT. Seems it might be all over the place.
And they will continue to be and everyone will complain regardless lol. It's a never ending cycle of people being impossible to please.
Oh I know it's one of those benchmarks I do not bother with. Everyone uses the phone differently.

You got the right idea, sir (or madam). I prefer things can be more statically (for lack of a better term) measured rather than something w/ a ton of variables.
I ended up going with the Moto X Pure and I hear battery life is bad but I have have heard other stories as well. I figure I will know once I start using the device.
