I believe Linux does not support the "modern standby" sleep state: S0 which allows PCs to behave like your smartphone.

It's probably more of a problem with the hardware manufacturers than Linux, but regardless the end result is that it only works on Windows.

For example, my Surface Book, when it's working, resumes instantly.

It looks like you right: sleeping in S0 is not supported by Linux, only Windows does this:

ACPI Sleep States (S0 - S5)

•S0: Normal Powered-On state

•S1 Standby

•S2: Not supported

•S3 Suspend to Ram

•S4 Suspend to Disk
