Jolla phone can do it as well, fwiw.

I love that feature, and I think it is a real showstopper for people who
are used to having a reliable alarm-phone.

I already missed the alarm twice because my Krillin switched off because
of a bug (or because it had run out of battery) during the night. I've
been using the Jolla as secondary alarm since then, and I know that even
if it runs out of battery, it will still keep enough juice to fire the
alarm when the time comes.

Title:
  Alarms don't wake up the phone when it is powered off

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in platform-api package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  The alarms API is not setting the device's RTC alarm to power on the
  phone when an alarm should ring and the device is powered off.

  This causes alarms to be lost.

  We are instead using Android's /dev/alarm interface which only works
  while the phone is on or suspended.

  See bug #1375855 which confirms this works on Android.
