I can also confirm an instance whrere we cleaned up a Samsung smartphone in order to give it away to a friend. I did the factory reset thing , expecting that to wipe everything. It wiped the logon-to-google details but it left all the old address book entries still on the phone within the contacts tab! ( On the phone, not on the sim card! )

This would be done via adding a secondary account to the phone, the main account would still be there, both accounts would then have access to the same apps
If you remove the primary google account from android (not sure if this still needs a rest to do this) all google play content will be wiped
for the Samsung, that must be local data, contacts from google would have been wiped if you did a reset
