Seamless grocery shopping
Amazon has been testing a Wi-Fi wand called Amazon Dash that simplifies barcode scanning. Such capabilities could be included in the Amazon phone to improve on current barcode scanning apps. Combine that with Amazon's same-day grocery service Amazon Fresh, currently in testing in Seattle, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and grocery shopping could be drastically simplified. Rather than dragging a shopping cart through aisles -or even scrolling through a list of products online- a quick wave of the phone in your pantry could have all your groceries at your doorstep within hours.
“It's an opportunity to continue to tie users into the Amazon ecosystem,” Doshi says.
