Huawei has just dropped its latest slim and light tablet, the Huawei MatePad Air, in Malaysia.
Tipping the scales at a featherweight 509g and measuring a razor-thin 5.3mm, this device is practically made for life on the move. Up front, you get a stunning 12-inch 2.8K OLED PaperMatte display with tiny 4.69mm bezels, giving you a massive 92% screen-to-body ratio. It hits up to 1,200 nits of peak brightness so outdoor use is a breeze, and the six-speaker audio setup guarantees your favourite media sounds top notch. It comes in three colourways: pink, white, and blue.
Underneath, the tablet runs on a Kirin T93C processor backed by 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It operates on HarmonyOS 4.3, drawing all your favourite applications directly from the Huawei AppGallery. For photos and video calls, you get a 50MP main camera on the back and a 12MP shooter up front. Keeping everything running is a huge 10,100mAh battery that supports 66W fast charging.
On the software side, the tablet brings WPS AI to the table. This updated, PC-level suite can smartly draft documents, cook up presentation slides, polish your writing, and condense massive PDFs in seconds. For creatives and note-takers, the bundled M-Pencil Pro delivers a remarkably natural writing feel thanks to 16,384 levels of pressure sensitivity, while the included smart magnetic keyboard case easily turns the device into a proper productivity machine.
Pricing and Availability
If you are looking to pick one up in Malaysia, the Huawei MatePad Air carries a price tag of RM3,999. Early adopters can snap up a hefty RM4,503 worth of launch freebies, including an RM500 rebate, the smart magnetic keyboard case, the M-Pencil Pro stylus, a wireless mouse, and a free year of WPS AI alongside Huawei Notes.
