The new Huawei MatePad Air sets a new standard for personal computer-level productivity using artificial intelligence, combining professional performance with intelligent tools in an ultra-thin and lightweight body. Instead of being just another AI chatbot, the MatePad Air integrates AI directly into the daily experience, making tasks more intuitive and faster for mobile professionals and young creators. The result is a tablet that narrows the gap between portable devices and PC-level capabilities.
The set of PC-level WPS office applications on the MatePad Air has been significantly enhanced with AI features. All WPS AI capabilities are integrated to ensure seamless task execution. Users can generate topics, create plans, and improve content using the AI writing tool. The AI spreadsheet assistant allows data operations, formatting, row and column manipulation, and formula usage via voice commands. The AI presentation tool can automatically extract key points from documents and convert them into slides for accelerated presentation creation. When working with large PDF files, AI can summarize the main points and even display structures, which increases reading efficiency. Furthermore, real-time project collaboration is now possible through synchronization across multiple WPS devices.
Even the Huawei Notes app offers a smarter experience thanks to the new speech-to-text conversion feature. Note-taking becomes simple even during a lecture or meeting. After recording, it quickly converts speech to text, accurately capturing discussions and automatically generating structured notes. The transcribed text can be synchronized with handwritten annotations and highlights, simplifying the capture of important points and the addition of extra context.
For more demanding tasks on the go, the MatePad Air can be complemented by the Smart Magnetic Keyboard, which weighs only 308 g. The keyboard features molecular-level stain resistance, high durability, and unparalleled comfort. Thanks to a key travel distance of 1.5 mm and larger keys, the keyboard perfectly complements the tablet, ensuring faster and more stable connections and lower input latency. It also supports a wide range of quick-access key combinations for desktop-level typing, making almost any necessary creator tool accessible with a single touch.
The MatePad Air is equipped with a large 12-inch OLED PaperMatte Display, which is one of the best tablet displays in this price segment. Compared to traditional glossy screens, the PaperMatte Display provides a more comfortable viewing experience and a writing feel very similar to paper. With a resolution of 2.8K and a peak brightness of 1200 nits, it offers a premium viewing experience suitable for both work and entertainment. The Huawei MatePad Air also supports adaptive refresh rate technology ranging from 30 Hz to 144 Hz.
Another outstanding feature of the MatePad Air is the virtually invisible bezels around the screen. In these tiny 4.69 mm bezels, the tablet also houses a 12 MP front camera, eliminating the need for a cutout.
Living up to its name, the MatePad Air is an incredibly thin and light tablet, weighing only 509 g and measuring just 5.3 mm thick. Despite its slim and light body, the device does not sacrifice durability. The tablet's metal body features a premium finish that changes with changes in light and angle. This method uses eco-friendly water-soluble electrophoretic paint and ultra-pure semiconductor-grade water treatment to ensure uniform and reliable adhesion of the coating to the integrated metal back casing. The result is a clean, exquisite metal finish that enhances the appearance and breaks the monotony of ordinary metal coatings.
Despite its thin and light design, the Huawei MatePad Air is equipped with a large 10,100 mAh battery, providing up to 16 hours of local HDR video playback and about 10 hours of online video playback. Thanks to 66W SuperCharge Turbo technology, it charges up to 42 percent in just 30 minutes and fully charges in 85 minutes.
