Kids love smartphones and tablets — especially if they’re loaded with games and videos. But it’s thought spending too much time too close to a screen can cause computer vision syndrome, abd even lasting damage to young eyes.

Samsung wants to prevent this with a new Android app called Safety Screen, which displays a large popup that gets in the way of the content whenever your child moves their device too close to their face.

Samsung is desperate to make Samsung Pay your go-to mobile payment system, so it has been offering all kinds of incentives for using it. Its latest is a $30 gift card for Best Buy, eBay, Gamestop, or Regal Entertainment.

Here’s how you can get one.

Samsung’s new Gear Manager app for iOS, which will let you pair an iPhone with the Gear S2 smartwatch, has leaked out ahead of its official debut.

Testers say the app will bring a surprising amount of functionality, allowing users control music from their watch, and even sync new faces to it.

Samsung has gotten a lot better at optimizing its TouchWiz software for its large, high-resolution displays in recent years, and now it’s giving users the ability to change it themselves with display scaling on the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge.
