This feature will help efficiently manage the smartphone without draining power. This feature to sport as an option in further Android O developer previews.
This feature will not get access to current Android O developer preview 3. It has been found as an app file named as SystemUIGoogle.apk which shows that the feature is on the way to Google devices. The SystemUI Tuner can be accessed on many Android phones by pulling down the status bar and long-pressing on the settings icon. It then shows the message that UI Tuner is activated.
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/tuner_doze" android:key="doze">
<com.android.systemui.tuner.TunerSwitch android:title="@string/tuner_doze_always_on" android:key="doze_always_on" sysui:defValue="false" />
