One of the biggest attractions about 3D-8 comes from its very name – the 3D capabilities. Tivax market this tablet as being able to offer 3D playback without the need to use 3D glasses. The technology is actually very similar to that used on the popular Nintendo 3DS. But whilst this particular feature does work, it isn’t exactly immersive.

We’d rather have a display which can accommodate 1080p or resolutions which are upwards of this, because the pursuit of high resolutions is a real focus within the industry at the moment. 3D has taken a backseat in the world of AV as 4K is presented to the consumer as the ultimate experience.

3D-8 performs well for basic, day-to-day tasks such as watching movies, surfing the web and indulging in light gaming but it does struggle with more demanding games due to the hardware specifications.



Having over 5 hours of usage from a tablet is very good especially if you are planning to use 3D-8 on long distance journeys for reading or other entertainment. The software suite which comes bundled with the tablet allows you to make full use of all the features and ports such as HDMI and SD card slot.

Being priced at $369, this tablet is much more expensive than prolific offerings from the bigger brands and thus it will naturally struggle to gain attention. The reasoning behind the price-tag is likely to be due to the 3D capabilities. The consumer has to foot the bill for the technology, but is it really worth it?

The MiTraveller 3D-8 is a well-designed 8-inch tablet which has numerous interesting features – some come as standard with Android’s JellyBean but others have been incorporated by Tivax. Unfortunately the 3D technology pushes the price of this product right up and we’re dubious as to the demand for such a feature on a tablet. Instead, we feel development should be spent on screen quality and hardware specification.
