Why Nothing CEO is asking Samsung president to 'call' him

Samsung launched its first smart ring – Galaxy Ring during the Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris yesterday. The device features a compact form factor and comes integrated with a host of ehealth and fitness features.

In its official press release, Samsung says that its Galaxy Ring features a lightweight design, weighing from 2.3 grams to 3.0 grams to ensure comfort during extended wear. It’s been less than 24 hours since the device launched and it has already become a subject of criticism. Nothing CEO Carl Pei is taking a dig at the device, specifically its design. The CEO took to microblogging site X (formerly known as Twitter) to mock the design of Galaxy Ring.

A description on Samsung's website reads that the new device ‘Feels like nothing. Goes with everything’. Sharing the screenshot of the description, Pei sarcastically wrote on X “TM Roh - call me if you need design help. We can accelerate our vision of making tech fun again!”.
