That appears to be the case. This is apparently not a "Samsung Store", but a separate display area dedicated to Samsung products within the Euronics store. The store looks very similar to a "Best Buy" or "Target". Some on-line images from different Euronics pages show logos, sometimes grouped in various departments. Just like what you'd typically see here in a large electronics/department store.
Much ado about nothing when all is said and done. You can cancel the appointment with the hangman now.
Lol. Now the Apple fans are moving on to the power adapter issue (legitimate complaint) after realizing how blown out of proportion this topic was.

Not sure if the adapter is an issue yet. I asked over on 9to5mac where it started which model/variant of the s2 it is. But my comment disappears.
its certainly not the samsung attain(ATT variant) its much larger. its not the international version either, its a complete different design from the att variant.
I think the galaxy s2 are about to be released or will be released so there's few unboxing videos/photos to go around.
Is this display furnished by Samsung? <Not Known> Are the back wall graphics also supplied by Samsung <Apparently NO>, assuming that any of the display comes direct from them, or are those elements a part of the retailers (Euronics) decor<YES>, perhaps repeated on other walls removed from Samsung's display? What does the rest of the retailers shop look like? <Undated online images can be found via search>
Did the company producing the graphics receive the proper releases before creating them? <Unknown, a question for Euronics> If all the elements were contracted by Samsung, did they have releases to use each of the logos for marketing purposes? <The rear wall logos are part of Euronics decor> Is this an official Samsung-designed and supplied sales area or one created by the retailer to display Samsung products? <Unclear if it's maintained by Samsung reps or by Euronics. Perhaps a mix of both>
What about the dock connector clone in Samsung tablets:
<--snip-->
Samsung on the other hand did what? Made the power adaptor black and used a slightly different radius on the corner. Poor poor taste.
Standard Fandroid response: "It's hard to say. Do we know for a fact that the power adapter and dock connector really come from Samsung? Or is it from that store? Do we know they didn't obtain clearance from Apple to use those designs? I'm just asking questions before I come to conclusions. Not nearly enough known to make any judgement. Lol. You Apple fans are grasping at straws. I'm better than you because my phone has Android."

If nothing else it is fun to watch "reptilebrains" and "wezallgotzourzzzsinournickzwebecool" tie themselves into mental knots trying to justify their trolling as something other than hate.

Well yes, and they were struggling for a while, but it looks like they may have called this one correctly. And in the spectrum of things that Zamzung have probably done wrong recently, this is pretty funny, but not really very serious.
Irony is ten posts of ad homs in a row calling others trolls.
PS. This Fandroid has nothing to say to that because Samsung's ripping off of Apple products is shameless. Some galaxy S (1&2) phones icons, touchwhiz, item shapes. Etc.
Just because we don't agree that a tablet should be banned for looking like a non existent Apple product doesn't mean we agree with Samsung on everything.
Just because we recognized how silly it would be for those wall graphics to be by Samsung doesn't mean we agree with them.
I'm sorry that your definition of Apple fan includes "must rabidly hate anything any company who is not Apple does and if anything fishy pops up the competition is always guilty and Apple innocent"
Here is a picture at Samsung's Galaxy S launch party:
I know one can customize Android to look like anything, but the pictures above were part of Samsung's marketing. I've seen many pictures of models holding up a Galaxy S where the home page looks very very similar to Apple's iPhone home screen. Something like that doesn't happen accidentally. Samsung pretty much set it up that way. Unless, there was a conspiracy by the models to alter the phones to look like iPhones!
And obviously, the similarity in icons used in Samsung Touchwiz to iOS icons are part of Apple's lawsuit against.

Yes and as many fandroids have said for years many galaxy s phones and touchwhiz are obvious copies of iOS and apple.
Doesn't mean Samsung is always guilty.
Just because someone stole a wallet doesn't mean they robbed a bank.
Phonetic similarity by a younger version of myself due to absolute designs having been taken.
Yes - and I admit that I did see your earlier explanation (on another thread I think). I guess it is just coincidence. And by the way, the discussions wouldn't be nearly as interesting without you guys.

Not nearly enough known to make any judgement.
. . . and the reason for the questions.
Even if Samsung knew nothing about this before hand it is still incompetent business to have another company's logos sell your brand.
"The store is Euronics of Catania, Italy (an electronic shop similar to America's Best Buy).
Even if Samsung knew nothing about this before hand it is still incompetent business to have another company's logos sell your brand.
No idea what Euronics uses those logos for, or how they tie in with their store. That would be another unanswered question.

Ah, that's an identical post to the one on 9to5. So they're obviously just a copypasta brigade.
I wonder if we need new anti-troll policies here?

The chances are bad, since they're generating a massive amount of clicks and unique Visitor IP's for the website owner = $$$
