It doesn't look to me like they're pretending they took the picture with that phone. They are just using that photo as an example to show how the "background blur" feature works.

Samsung pays for PR, why contribute your reputation pro bono?

Everything on that section is talking about the phone. There are no disclaimers or the “simulation” notes ethical companies use.

I mean nothing anywhere near the images. An ethical company would not require you to scroll down a dozen more times to learn that the images you’d been looking at for the last 20 screens were all fake. Samsung does that because they know almost nobody will read tiny text buried in a de-emphasized paragraph and the few who do probably won’t fully discount the full impression.
