Hi,
yes toString() , whose return type is Object always returns
a new object.Hence the result.

since it is retruning it self ( i.e tostring ) above will print equal.
reproduced from API
toString
public String toString()
This object (which is already a string!) is itself returned.
Overrides:
toString in class Object
Returns:
the string itself.
