It seems that Sansung sold us a 50-135 lens as 50-150, doesn't it?

No, it does not, and I'm puzzled regarding why you would think that.

Pentax SMC DA Series 50-135mm f/2.8 ED IF SDM

It is weather sealed, f/2.8, and they share that part of their range... but they're different optical designs and I see no reason to think the 50-150 is so short on the long end.  Seems like a 50-150 sold as as 50-150 to me.

The Pentax is 18 elements in 14 groups, the Samsung is 20 elements in 13 groups.  Front filter thread in the Pentax is 67mm and is 72mm on the Samsung.   Etc.......
