{"product_id":"samsung-pl171","title":"Samsung PL171","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSamsung released the PL171 in 2011 as the step up from the PL120 in the DualView lineup — same 1.5-inch front LCD and 26mm 5× zoom, but with a 16.1-megapixel sensor over the PL120's 14.2MP, a larger 3-inch rear screen, HDMI output, and Dual IS combining optical and digital stabilization where the PL120 relied on digital only. Same selfie concept, more camera behind it. In black it's the version that looks least like a gadget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eTHE LOOKS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIn black, the PL171 is a clean plastic rectangle — 95.3 × 57.3 × 19mm, 113g, with the 1.5-inch front LCD sitting above the lens on the front face and the 3-inch rear LCD filling the back. The front screen activates with a dedicated button on the top plate. A slight raised ridge along the right edge gives the hand something to grip on an otherwise flat body. Also available in silver, pink, and purple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eTHE SPECS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe 16.1-megapixel CCD delivers warm, characterful output at base ISO — a step up from the PL120's 14.2MP sensor. The 5× zoom covers 26–130mm equivalent. Dual IS mode combines optical and digital stabilization simultaneously, which the PL120 couldn't match. The 3-inch rear LCD is larger than the PL120's 2.7-inch screen. HDMI output for TV playback. Smart Auto 2.0, Magic Frame, Smart Filter. 720p\/30fps HD video. ISO 80–3200. microSD storage. 95.3 × 57.3 × 19mm, 113g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eDESIGN HIGHLIGHTS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.5-inch front LCD with dedicated button:\u003c\/strong\u003e flip it on to frame self-portraits or point at children — the DualView feature shared with the PL120, here paired with optical IS and HDMI.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual IS combining optical and digital stabilization:\u003c\/strong\u003e the key upgrade over the PL120, which had digital IS only — the optical element made a real difference in handheld shots in dim light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16.1-megapixel CCD with 3-inch rear LCD and HDMI:\u003c\/strong\u003e higher resolution, larger screen, and TV output than the PL120 — the same concept executed with meaningfully more hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eTHE VERDICT\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe PL171 is the DualView done properly — the PL120 proved the concept, the PL171 improved on it in every measurable way. More megapixels, bigger rear screen, optical stabilization, HDMI. The 1.5-inch front LCD works exactly as advertised for selfies and shooting kids, the CCD output is warm and characterful at base ISO, and black is the version that looks like a camera rather than a fashion accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samsung","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57232390259063,"sku":null,"price":219.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/2003\/7239\/files\/IMG_0184_result.jpg?v=1782639263","url":"https:\/\/bling-inc.com\/products\/samsung-pl171","provider":"Bling Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
