HUAWEI is bringing PC-level AI productivity to a portable tablet with the new HUAWEI MatePad Air, combining a 12-inch 2.8K OLED display, AI-powered productivity tools, and high-performance hardware in a 5.3mm-thin, 509g design.
Now available for pre-order in the Philippines starting September 11, the MatePad Air is designed for professionals, entrepreneurs, and creators who need to work, create, and manage tasks across different environments.
At the center of the device is a 12-inch 2.8K Ultra-Clear OLED PaperMatte Display with a 144Hz refresh rate, up to 1,200 nits peak brightness, and P3 cinema-grade color gamut. Its nano-level etched PaperMatte surface reduces glare and reflections while providing a more paper-like experience for writing and drawing.
The tablet’s productivity features are built around AI-enhanced WPS Office, including AI PDF Reading for document summaries, text optimization, automated PPT generation, and Excel chart creation. HUAWEI Notes also adds AI speech-to-text for capturing discussions and brainstorming sessions, along with tools for solving mathematical equations.
The MatePad Air can further function as a portable workstation through its 4-in-1 setup with the HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard, Mouse, and M-Pencil Pro. The stylus supports more than 16,000 pressure sensitivity levels and includes Air Mouse functions for remotely controlling presentations.
Despite its productivity-focused hardware, the tablet measures only 5.3mm thick and weighs 509g. It packs a 10,100mAh battery, supports up to 18 hours of HDR video playback, and features 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge Turbo. It also comes with 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, virtual memory expansion of up to 8GB, 3D heat dissipation, and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.
The HUAWEI MatePad Air is priced at ₱59,999 during the September 11–17 pre-order period, down from ₱64,999. The pre-order bundle includes a Smart Magnetic Keyboard, one-year WPS AI Membership, PC-Level WPS Office suite, Bluetooth Mouse, and bag, with total freebies valued at up to ₱33,886.
The device is available through HUAWEI’s online and retail channels, as well as Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok.
