HUAWEI changes the way modern users work, play, and create with the all-new HUAWEI MatePad Air, bringing together a remarkable screen, PC-level AI productivity, and powerful performance in an ultra-thin and lightweight design. Built for modern professionals, entrepreneurs, and creators, the latest addition to the HUAWEI MatePad series gives users the flexibility to work, learn, create, and manage everyday tasks wherever they are.

The all-new HUAWEI MatePad Air is now available for pre-order in the Philippines starting September 11, 2026, giving users the chance to experience a smarter and more versatile way to work and create.

See Every Detail Better with the World’s Best Screen

The HUAWEI MatePad Air boasts the world’s best screen with its 12-inch 2.8K Ultra-Clear OLED screen and PaperMatte Display, giving users a larger canvas for productivity, creativity, and entertainment. For JC Cerezo, a remote sales trainer and founder of The Parliament, the biggest remote sales community in the Philippines, the HUAWEI MatePad Air’s screen makes it a truly productivity device. “The display matters because we’re not just watching videos, we’re also reading, writing, presenting, and working for long hours,” he said.

The screen features an ultra-slim 4.69mm bezel, which creates a more immersive viewing experience while giving users like content creator and Brew&Co MNL founder Mika Leetong more room to work with their content. With a 144Hz refresh rate, up to 1,200 nits peak brightness, and a P3 cinema-grade color gamut, the OLED display delivers sharper details, smoother visuals, and vibrant, more lifelike colors to enhance the visual experience crucial for professionals who also create content, like Leetong. “Usually, I draw or doodle effects (when I edit content), and I get to be able to do that easily with the HUAWEI MatePad Air,” she said. “Even if you’re looking at it in outdoor or indoor settings, even if the change in setting is sudden, the visuals remain clear.

The HUAWEI MatePad Air’s display also features HUAWEI’s signature PaperMatte Display technology, which not only enhances the writing or drawing experience but also protects users’ eye health. Using a high-level precision nano-level etching process, the screen is designed to minimize glare and reflections while maintaining a more natural, paper-like view and feel. According to Cerezo, the glare-free, eye-friendly screen makes a meaningful difference for when he spends long hours working. “Because it reduces glare and reflections, there’s less eye strain when I’m reviewing decks, documents, and content for long hours,” he claimed.

Get More Done with AI Productivity Experience

The HUAWEI MatePad Air breaks boundaries, bringing together PC-level productivity enhanced by AI in a sleek, portable device. This enables users and modern professionals to handle demanding tasks, develop ideas, and manage dense files wherever their day takes them. “Before, my biggest challenge was balancing portability and productivity,” shared Cerezo. “With the HUAWEI MatePad Air, I get a lighter setup that can still handle documents, presentations, meetings, and content work, (so) I can stay productive while carrying something lighter.”

A key part of the productivity experience is the PC-Level WPS Office Suite, which brings familiar office tools to the HUAWEI MatePad Air. The productivity apps are now integrated with AI capabilities to help make workflows become more efficient than ever. Cerezo found the WPS AI PDF Reading feature helpful for summarizing lengthy documents, while he uses text optimization to refine or shorten drafts. The PPT generation makes creating decks and presentations more efficient than ever, helpfully turning ideas or source materials into presentations. He also finds the Excel Chart creation feature useful for converting data into visual charts. Cerezo said these AI-powered tools help professionals who manage multiple responsibilities shift time away from repetitive tasks and information processing to focus on strategic execution. 

The HUAWEI MatePad Air also uses AI to support more efficient information capture through the HUAWEI Notes app. Cerezo said the app’s AI speech-to-text functionality, which can convert recorded discussions into text, helps him better capture ideas discussed during meetings or brainstorming sessions. For Leetong, the HUAWEI Notes app eases the load of managing her daily tasks. “One of the things I really appreciate is how it makes things easier. It easily gets the things that I usually spend too much time on done quickly.” The AI-driven HUAWEI Notes also allows users to easily solve math equations instantly without having to turn to a calculator or another app. 

Both Cerezo and Leetong claimed that HUAWEI’s practical approach to AI makes it useful for real-world situations. “It really saves me a lot of time, especially on repetitive tasks,” said Leetong. 

Set Up Your 4-in-1 Productivity Workspace Anywhere

To take the productivity experience even further, the HUAWEI MatePad Air is built to go beyond the tablet experience with a 4-in-1 productivity bundle featuring NearLink accessories that elevate workflows. Paired with the HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard, Mouse, and M-Pencil Pro, the HUAWEI MatePad Air easily transforms into a portable workstation fit for writing, editing documents, preparing presentations, and managing everyday tasks. The keyboard supports desktop-level shortcut combinations and two viewing angles, delivering a satisfying, low-latency experience.

For Cerezo, the keyboard adds to the productivity experience, giving the setup a PC-like workflow without the added bulk. Meanwhile, the seamless connection and compact size were standouts for Leetong. “It’s compact, the size is really perfect, but at the same time, I get to do everything I need to do,” she stated. At just 308g, the keyboard adds functionality without taking away from the HUAWEI MatePad Air’s portability.

Leetong also said that the HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro enhances her content creation, making the device more versatile than ever. Professionals like Leetong and Cerezo enjoy an enhanced creating and writing experience, thanks to the stylus’ over 16,000 pressure sensitivity levels and specialized tips, which offer the precision needed for both detailed creative work and everyday note-taking. “I do content creation too, so I really love the stylus. I get to draw, I get to sketch, take notes,” she remarked. “Sometimes when we do pop-ups, I also do the mock-ups of the design booths. I also draw to my staff, sometimes, to show them how I want the set-up to look.”

With Air Mouse, the HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro offers added convenience when presenting, allowing users to turn PPT pages and use the laser pointer remotely, making it a practical and versatile tool for presentations. These NearLink accessories enable the HUAWEI MatePad Air to adapt to different workflows, from working and creating, to note-taking, for a complete productivity experience all in one device. “These accessories make the HUAWEI MatePad Air a portable workstation, ideal for professionals who require a device for work and entertainment,” said Cerezo.

Take Your Productivity Everywhere with an Ultra-Thin, Lightweight Device Built to Last

The HUAWEI MatePad Air’s powerful capabilities are housed in a slim, lightweight body that measures just 5.3mm and weighs just 509g.  Its ultra-thin profile is complemented by a sturdy build designed to withstand the unexpected with little to no bend, giving users added confidence as they take the device from one workspace to another. The lightweight design is one of the device’s immediate advantages for Cerezo. “It’s easy to bring to meetings, cafes, shoots, events, and other workspaces,” he said. “Even with the full setup, it only weighs around 870g, so that’s less than 1kg.”

Aside from its lightweight form, the HUAWEI MatePad Air also features a distinctively elegant design, which Leetong claimed is one of the features of the device that caught her eye. Available in Airy Blue, the HUAWEI MatePad Air comes with a Pearlescent Sheen, made through an e-coating process to create a smooth, refined surface with a subtle shimmery effect that shifts with the light. The process also enhances the device’s durability, enhancing its resistance to corrosion, sweat, and fading, so the HUAWEI MatePad Air maintains its refined finish even as it moves with users through their daily routines.

The device’s contoured edges add to its portability, providing a comfortable grip. At the back of the HUAWEI MatePad Air is an iconic Star Ring camera design, giving the device a more fluid appearance.

Conquer the Most Demanding Days with Long-Lasting Battery and Massive Storage

Despite its slim profile, the HUAWEI MatePad Air is equipped to support the most demanding days. Its massive 10,100mAh battery provides the power needed to get through the long days of productivity, creativity, and entertainment, supporting up to 18 hours of HDR video playback. When users need to quickly recharge, the 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge Turbo replenished the power in just 30 minutes. This helps minimize interruptions, especially on days when users are moving between meetings, brainstorming sessions, and other heavy-duty tasks.

To ensure the tablet is fully equipped to support users’ various workflows, the HUAWEI MatePad Air carries 12GB of physical RAM and 256GB of storage, with an additional 8GB of virtual memory through HUAWEI’s virtual memory expansion technology, making the HUAWEI MatePad Air fully capable of handling multiple applications and files. Additionally, its 3D heat dissipation architecture helps manage heat efficiently, supporting stable performance as users move between demanding workflows. With Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, the HUAWEI MatePad Air is ready to deliver fast and responsive wireless connections, ideal for today’s connected work and entertainment experiences.
