This is as embarrassing as it is dissapointing. Samsung has apparently allowed a photo taken by photographer using a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera as a portrait mode photo purportedly taken by a Galaxy A8 smartphone.
The discovery was made by Dundja Dudjic, a Serbian photographer, when her stock photo (which was a self-portrait of the photographer) was purchased and licensed for commercial use. Doing a reverse image search, Dudjic found it was Samsung Malaysia that used her image on their website. Samsung is pretending it was shot on Samsung smartphone and promoting a DSLR-like 'portrait mode'. This is not only shameful and dishonest, it brings a lot of skepticism on images used in smartphone-related ad and marketing materials.
After Samsung got busted for image fakery, a disclosure has quietly appeared on the page under the photos stating the images are simulated.
