I’ve been a 3D stereoscopic enthusiast for over a decade, having purchased over a dozen 3D devices. I’m here to share my in-depth experience with this tablet. In summary, I would say it’s “currently the best Glasses Free 3D portable device in terms of overall effect, but it also provides the worst 3D system software service.” I’ve also made a review video and uploaded it to YouTube.
The best 3D Tablet of 2024 - RedMagic 3D Tablet Review（Lume Pad 3 / nubia Pad 3D II）
I’ll be posting the video script here for those who prefer reading over watching.（The following text has been translated using Google’s AI and may be more accurate and fluent than the translation in the video.）
Today, I’m reviewing the Red Magic Pad 3D Exploration Edition. If you know how to use this tablet or have watched my video and unlocked its correct usage, then it deserves a score of 8 out of 10. However, if you’re an ordinary user who doesn’t know how to use it, you might only give it a score of 3 or even lower.
Let’s start with the advantages .
In fact, this tablet has a more familiar name among us 3D enthusiasts: Nubia Pad 3D Ⅱ（Lume pad 3,maybe）. This tablet is claimed to have a 100% increase in 3D brightness, an 80% increase in 3D resolution, and all-round upgrades in other aspects compared to the previous generation.
In actual use, the 3D resolution has indeed improved significantly compared to the previous generation’s poor 566p resolution (I’ve seen some people say that the previous generation - Lume Pad 2 (Nubia Pad 3D) had an 800p 3D resolution, but based on the official data released at the beginning and visual observation, it should be 566p). The resolution of each eye is now around 800p, which is already quite good among currently mass-produced Glasses Free 3D devices (the official claim of an 80% increase in resolution probably refers to an 80% increase in total pixel resolution). I hope there will be a next-generation product in the future, with an upgraded 3D resolution of “1080p per eye”.
The 3D brightness has also improved significantly compared to previous devices. The official maximum brightness is 553 nits, and when switching between 2D and 3D at maximum brightness, there is no noticeable decrease in brightness as with previous devices.
In terms of 3D image crosstalk, this device has achieved the top level among current Glasses Free 3D devices. Although crosstalk may still occur in scenes with high contrast, it is rare to see crosstalk when watching most daytime videos and images with adjusted contrast like 3D movies. I hope there will be a next-generation product in the future that can achieve the anti-crosstalk level of active 3D.
(Let me explain what crosstalk is. It’s when, for example, your left eye sees an image that is supposed to be seen by your right eye.)
Speaking of crosstalk, we have to mention the device’s vertical 3D display effect. In previous Glasses Free 3D tablets or phones, most devices only supported horizontal 3D, and only a few supported vertical 3D. Moreover, the crosstalk problem in vertical mode was much more severe than in horizontal mode. However, this device not only supports vertical 3D but also has crosstalk levels similar to horizontal mode, which is very rare.
Regarding 3D model viewing, I believe that anyone who has seen this effect in person will be amazed and start to imagine the future of this technology. But I think this future may not exist, at least not until the 3D system software service of this device is improved.
No, wait, it’s time to introduce the advantages. Let’s continue talking about the advantages.
In terms of 3D video playback, tests have shown that it can smoothly play 8K 60fps 3D videos, and it can also smoothly watch 180-degree and 360-degree 3D VR videos. The image quality when watching Blu-ray 3D movies is almost perfect except that the resolution has not yet reached “1080p per eye”. In terms of brightness, contrast, color, and anti-crosstalk, it’s simply perfect.
In terms of 3D shooting, thanks to the 45mm large spacing between the left and right rear cameras, the 3D stereoscopic effect is much better than that of all previous 3D phones and tablets. For those who want to use one device to meet all their 3D needs, the shooting effect of this device is basically usable. For those who want to shoot 3D images more seriously, they can also use ego for more convenient shooting, viewing, and sharing.
Let’s talk about some advantages beyond the 3D stereoscopic related features .
First, the device’s performance is excellent. With an 8Gen2 SoC and 16GB of RAM running on a 12.1-inch screen, it can handle large-scale games like Genshin Impact and Z·Z·Z at the highest graphics settings with a basically stable 60 frames per second.
Then, the quality of the display’s underlying screen is also very good, and you can manually calibrate the screen in the settings. This feature is incredibly good and a positive development. I hope it can be widely promoted. It would be great if all tablets and phones had this feature.
In terms of 5G communication, this device not only supports 5G internet when you insert a 5G SIM card but can also send and receive text messages. This is a very useful feature in today’s era where almost every app requires SMS verification codes.
Additionally, the device has a large battery and long battery life, and the Type-C port is full-featured, so you can basically plug in anything. Well, that’s about it.
Let’s discuss some unique features of this device that are neither strengths nor weaknesses.
One is its 2D-to-3D conversion feature. While it has some utility, it’s quite limited. Except for planes that extend continuously from the screen’s edge, such as the ground, walls, or sea, which can exhibit some continuous depth variation, other objects are essentially treated like cutouts, divided into foreground, middle ground, and background layers. It’s more suitable for third-person games and viewing individual characters, but it’s only mildly interesting and can’t compare to native 3D at all.
Another feature is its 3D extended screen functionality. It can cast the screen of other devices onto the tablet and convert it to 3D. The conversion quality has been mentioned earlier, and the casting quality, frame rate, and latency are all quite average, nowhere near the level of professional streaming software like Moonlight. Again, it’s a feature with some utility but is quite limited.
Let’s talk about the shortcomings of this device.
Specifically, the 3D system software service is absolutely terrible. Let me list the issues one by one.
First, unless I knew that this device was a collaboration between ZTE and Leia, how would a regular user know that they need to add a specific suffix to their 3D photo filenames, as demonstrated in the video, for the tablet to recognize them as 3D photos? How would they know that they need to add this suffix to their 3D VR photos and videos for the tablet to recognize them?
Second, the 3D video player has no other options besides loop playback. There’s no subtitle selection, no audio track selection, no playback speed adjustment, no zoom, no stereoscopic depth adjustment – nothing. You have to pre-process everything on your computer.
Third, 3D photos taken by the camera can only be viewed in 3D on this series of tablets. They can’t be used on other 3D viewing devices. Since 3D videos can be exported in the universal side-by-side (SBS) format, why can’t photos? Leia clearly provided a function to convert 3D photos taken by the tablet into the universal SBS format, which can be selected when sharing photos. Why don’t you provide this option? Currently, we have to extract the left and right eye images in photopea or other professional software and then stitch them together into the universal SBS format. How is a regular user supposed to know how to do this?
Fourth, if a regular user gets this tablet and doesn’t have their own 3D videos, images, or models, they can only look at the poorly made 3D images that seem to be AI-generated. What about your 3D content software, Migu Video 3D? It was installed on the Far Horizon 3D phone that was released at the same time. Why isn’t it installed on this tablet? This software is not very useful for us old 3D enthusiasts, but it’s very useful for other 3D users.
Fifth, let’s talk about the 3D images that come pre-installed in your 3D frame. If a regular user who has never used glasses-free 3D buys this tablet or sees it in a store, they will probably open the large 3D frame app on the desktop first. Don’t you know that for many people who haven’t seen glasses-free 3D, this kind of large-area out-of-screen image can cause eye strain and dizziness? After experiencing this, they may never be interested in glasses-free 3D devices again, let alone buy one. And they may even tell others about this bad experience, which could discourage many new users and potential customers. Do you realize that?
sixth, are you aware that your default intelligent refresh rate switching, along with 144hz and 120hz refresh rates, can cause videos with more than 15 frames, especially 60fps videos, to not play at full frame rate, resulting in intermittent frame drops? If I hadn’t tried switching to 60hz and 90hz and found that there was no problem with these refresh rates, this issue would have been a thorn in my side, incredibly frustrating. High refresh rates are good, but please at least make sure the system software is well-adapted.
seventh, why can’t your 3D mode add a button to the 3D conversion function in other programs and on the 3D extended screen, where the source image is a full-width SBS left and right? This would directly split the screen in half, with the left side corresponding to the left eye image and the right side corresponding to the right eye image. In this way, 3D videos from major video platforms, as well as various stereo software and games that support SBS display, could all be viewed and used on this tablet. If this feature were added, the large number of popular Glasses Free 3D videos on major video platforms could be viewed vertically in Glasses Free 3D on this large-screen tablet, without being limited to the small screen of a phone. What a great selling point that would be.
(I have a friend who modified the Lume Pad 2’s Moonlight 3D to make it work on the Red Magic 3D tablet, but he doesn’t plan to release this modified program. If anyone wants to adapt the Lume Pad 2’s software to the Red Magic 3D tablet, they can try modifying it themselves, and it should be successful.)
There are also some minor issues that I won’t mention here. I will provide feedback to the official team and hope they can actively improve and upgrade the system. I hope that such good Glasses Free 3D hardware won’t be ruined by poor system software service.
I also hope that Leia can release a Leia version of this tablet, improve the system software service, provide system software for Red Magic 3D tablet users to download, and open up the SDK. Don’t waste such good Glasses Free 3D hardware.
我是一名入坑3D立体影像十几年，买了十几款3D立体设备的用户，来给大家说一下这个平板的深度使用体验。我对于这个平板的总结是“目前总体效果最好的裸眼3D便携设备，但同时也提供着最差的3D系统软件服务”，并制作了一个评测视频发到了youtube。
接下来我会把视频的文稿发在这里，不方便看视频的朋友可以直接看文字。
今天给大家评测是的这款红魔平板3D探索版，这个平板如果你懂得怎么用，或者看完了我这个视频，解锁了这平板的正确打开方式，那满分10分可以给这个平板打个8分，但如果是一个不懂得怎么用的普通用户，那很可能就只能打3分甚至更低了。
先说【优点部分】
其实这平板有个我们3D玩家更熟悉的名称，努比亚pad3d二代，这款平板号称比起上一代有着100%的3D亮度提升、80%的3D分辨率提升，以及其他各方面的全方位升级
实际使用起来，3D分辨率上，相比起上一代糟糕的566p分辨率（我见到有人说上一代Lume Pad 2 (Nubia Pad 3D) 的3D分辨率是800p，但根据发布之初官方公布的数据以及目测情况，应该是566p），确实提升了很多，双目各800p左右的分辨率，在目前量产的裸眼3D设备里已经算很不错的了（官方宣传的80%分辨率提升，应该是指总像素分辨率提升了80%左右吧），希望未来还能有下一代产品，升级达到“双目1080p”的3D分辨率吧。
3D亮度的话，比起以前的设备也是有明显的提升，官方介绍最高亮度是553nit，最高亮度下，2D和3D切换时，也不会像以前的设备那样有明显的亮度减弱。
3D图像串扰方面，这台机子也做到了目前裸眼3D设备里的最顶尖水平，虽然在对比度很大场景还是会出现串扰，但是观看大部分日间拍摄的视频和像3D电影这种专门调节过对比度的影像，就很少看到串扰了。希望未来还能有下一代产品，升级达到主动式3D的防串扰水平吧。
（跟大家介绍一下什么是串扰，就是比如左眼看到了本来是右眼才能看到的图像）
说到串扰，就不得不说一下这个机子的竖屏3D显示效果了，在以往的裸眼3D平板或手机上，多数机子都只做了横屏3D效果，只有少数机子做了竖屏3D，而且竖屏时的串扰问题远比横屏时大，而这台机子不仅做了竖屏3D，还把串扰做到了跟横屏相近的水平，非常难得。
3D模型观看方面，我相信所有亲眼看到这个效果的朋友，都会为此感到赞叹，并开始遐想此技术发展壮大后的未来。但我觉得这个未来可能根本不会存在，至少在这机子的3D系统软件服务做好之前，存在的可能性很低。
不对，现在是介绍优点时间，咱们还是继续说优点哈
3D视频播放方面，测试下来可以流畅播放8k60帧的3D视频，而且还可以流畅观看180度和360度的3D VR视频，观看蓝光3D电影时的画面效果，除了分辨率还没达到“双目1080p”之外，其他方面亮度、对比度、色彩、防串扰，等方面都简直完美
3D拍摄方面，得益于左右后置摄像头45mm的较大间距，拍摄出的3D立体效果远好于以往所有的3D手机和平板，对于那些想用一台机子解决所有3D需求的玩家来说，这机子的拍摄效果已经基本可用了。对于想稍认真一些拍摄3D影像的玩家，也可以通过连接ego来进行较便捷的拍摄、观看与分享。
接下来说一些【3D立体相关功能以外的优点】
一个是机子的性能方面，毕竟是8gen2的soc加16G的ram，在12.1寸的散热上跑，还是很优秀的，原神、绝区零等大型手游都可以在最高画质下基本稳定地跑60帧
然后是机子的显示底屏素质也很不错，而且在设置里还能对屏幕进行手动校色，这个功能非常非常非常棒，是个好文明，希望大力推广，如果全部平板和手机都能有这功能就好了
然后5G通信方面，这机子插5G手机卡后不仅能5G上网，还能收发短信，这对于现在啥app都需要收短信验证码的时代来说，也是个非常有用的一个功能
还有就是这机子的电池很大，续航很长，以及type-c口是全功能的，基本插啥都可以用，嗯，差不多就这些了
接下来说一下这机子称不上缺点或优点的【特点功能】
一个是它的2D转3D功能，怎么说呢，用处是有一点的，但是不大，除了从屏幕边缘一直延伸向前的平面，比如地面，墙面，海面这些，可以有些连续的深度变化，其他基本就是属于抠图大师的程度，把图像中的物体抠成前中后三个图层。比较适合第三人称游戏和单独的角色观赏，但也只能说是稍稍有点意思，跟原生3D完完全全不能比。
另外一个是它的3D拓展屏功能，可以把其他设备的画面投屏到机子上转成3D，转制的效果前面说了，而投屏的画质、帧数、延迟，都很一般，跟moonlight等专业串流软件效果完全不能比。也是属于用处是有一点的，但是不大的程度。
接下来就说一下这机子的【缺点】
也就是这糟糕至极的3D系统软件服务，重点在于系统和软件提供的服务问题上，听我一条条跟你们列哈。
第一，如果不是因为我知道这机子是中兴和leia合作的产品，换作普通用户怎么能知道，要在他们的3D照片文件名后面加上视频里演示的这个后缀，才能被平板识别成3D照片来观看，怎么知道要在文件名后面加上视频里演示的这个后缀，这样他们的3D VR照片和视频才能被平板识别
第二，3D视频播放器除了一个循环播放之外，就没有任何其他视频播放相关选项了，没有字幕选择，没有音轨选择，没有倍速选择，没有缩放选择，没有立体深度设置，什么都没有，只能在电脑上提前转制好
第三，3D相机拍摄出来的照片，普通用户就只能在此系列平板上看3D效果，不能用于其他3D观看设备，明明3D视频都能拍成通用的左右SBS格式，为什么照片不提供这个服务？明明leia是提供了平板拍摄的3D照片转通用SBS的功能，是在分享照片的时候可以选择转换的，为什么你们不提供出来？现在我们只能去photopea或其他专业软件上才能把左右眼两张照片都提取出来，然后再拼成通用的SBS，你叫普通用户怎么懂得这么做？
第四，普通用户拿到平板，如果自己原本没有3D视频、3D图片或建模的话，就只能看一下自带的那些粗制滥造的看上去应该是AI生成的3D图片，你们的3D内容软件咪咕视频3D版呢？明明你们同时发布的远航3D手机上都装了，这个平板为什么不装上？这软件对于我们这些老3D玩家来说没什么用，但对于其他3D用户来说很有用啊。
第五，现在重点说一下你们这个3D相框里自带的那些3D图片，如果一个没用过裸眼3D的普通用户，买到了这平板或是在实体店里看到了这个平板，是不是大概率会先点开桌面上这么大的一个3D相框应用？然后你们难道不知道，对于很多没看过裸眼3D的人来说，这种大面积出屏的影像会让他们眼睛疼，脑袋晕吗？经历过这种体验，可能他们以后一辈子都不会再去关注裸眼3D设备了，更不用说购买。而且很可能还会跟别人说起这种糟糕的体验，这样下来劝退了多少刚入坑的用户，以及潜在客户，你们知道么？
第六，你们知道你们默认的刷新率智能切换，以及144hz和120hz的刷新率，会导致播放15帧以上的视频，尤其是60帧的视频，无法满帧播放，出现间歇性掉帧吗？如果不是我尝试切换到60hz和90hz发现这两个刷新率下没问题的话，这个问题对于我来说那就是如鲠在喉，难受到死。高刷是好的，但请至少把系统软件适配好呀。
第七，你们的3D模式在其他程序以及3D拓展屏上的3D转换功能，为什么不能增加一个源图像就是左右全宽SBS的按钮，直接将画面对半分，左边对应左眼图像，右边对应右眼图像，这样，各大视频平台上的3D视频，以及各类支持显示SBS的立体软件和游戏 ，就都能在这个平板上观看和使用了。如果有了这个功能，各大视频平台上大量存在的那些，热度很高的裸眼3D视频，就都在这个大屏的平板上竖屏裸眼观看，而不用拘泥于手机那么小的一个屏幕，这是多么好的一个卖点啊。
（我有一位朋友，通过修改软件代码，将Lume pad 2的 Moonlight 3D，修改成红魔3D平板也能用的版本，但他并不打算公开此修改后的程序，如果有想将Lume pad 2的软件适配到红魔3D平板上的朋友，可以试试自己修改，是可以成功的）
然后还有一些小的问题我这里就不提了，我会给官方反馈，希望官方能积极改进升级，希望这么好的裸眼3D硬件，不要被这糟糕的系统软件服务给毁了。
另外也希望Leia能推出这个平板的Leia版，完善系统软件服务，提供系统软件给红魔3D的用户下载，开放SDK，不要浪费了这么好的裸眼3D硬件。
Thanks! Actually I bought this tablet yesterday, but the info provided here is really great and useful. Thank you.
