It's a flagship consumer electronics store on Sydney's George Street with smiling blue shirt-wearing sales staff, a minimalist design and smartphones and tablets that invite customers to pick up and play.
But according to Samsung, the new store - just a block from Apple's Sydney store - was all its own idea. The company, renowned as a "fast follower" of the market leader, is doing little to dispel the notion that it is an Apple copycat.
The store at 450 George Street opened at 8am today when Samsung also began selling its new tablet computer, the Galaxy Note 10.1. The 16GB WiFi version - which has a stylus for writing/drawing and can run dual apps in split screen mode - is priced at $589.
