HUAWEI has now opened pre-orders for the new MatePad Air in the Philippines, offering a 12-inch OLED tablet with PC-level WPS Office tools, AI features, and a lightweight design.
The HUAWEI MatePad Air starts at ₱59,999 during its pre-order period, down from its regular price of ₱64,999. Buyers can also get a free accessory bundle worth up to ₱33,886, depending on the available offer.
With its large display, optional keyboard, and M-Pencil Pro support, the MatePad Air is aimed at people who want a tablet that can handle more than watching videos or browsing social media.
12″ OLED Display With PaperMatte Option
The HUAWEI MatePad Air features a 12-inch 2.8K OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and up to 1,200 nits peak brightness.
It also comes with HUAWEI’s PaperMatte Display technology, which helps to reduce glare and reflections. This is particularly useful for people who spend a lot of time reading documents, writing notes, or working on creative projects.
In addition, the tablet has a 4.69mm bezel, giving the screen a larger viewing area.
AI Features
One of the more interesting parts of the MatePad Air is its AI-integrated PC-level WPS Office Suite with features including:
- WPS AI PDF Reading: Helps summarize long PDF documents.
- Text optimization: Refines or shortens written drafts.
- PPT generation: Helps turn ideas or source materials into presentations.
- Excel Chart creation: Converts data into visual charts.
The tablet also supports AI features in HUAWEI Notes. These include speech-to-text for capturing discussions and a tool that can solve math equations.
These features could be useful for students, professionals, and anyone who regularly works with documents.
Portable Setup
The MatePad Air can be paired with HUAWEI’s Smart Magnetic Keyboard, Mouse, and M-Pencil Pro to create a more laptop-like setup.
The keyboard supports desktop-style shortcut combinations and two viewing angles. According to HUAWEI, the keyboard weighs 308g, while the tablet itself weighs 509g.
The M-Pencil Pro features over 16,000 pressure sensitivity levels and supports different stylus tips. It also has an Air Mouse function, which lets users turn presentation slides and use a laser pointer remotely.
For people who regularly take notes, create presentations, or do basic design work, these accessories make the tablet more valuable.
However, it is important to take note that the MatePad Air’s value ultimately depends on how well its software and apps support your everyday laptop tasks.
Slim Design and Large Battery
Despite its large display, the HUAWEI MatePad Air measures just 5.3mm thick and comes in an Airy Blue colorway and a Star Ring camera design on the back.
The tablet packs a 10,100mAh battery, with HUAWEI claiming up to 18 hours of HDR video playback. It also supports 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge Turbo, which can replenish the battery in 30 minutes, according to the company.
For storage, the MatePad Air comes with 12GB of physical RAM and 256GB of storage. It also supports up to 8GB of virtual memory extension.

Should You Consider The HUAWEI MatePad Air?
The HUAWEI MatePad Air looks like an interesting option for users who want a large-screen tablet for work, note-taking, entertainment, or just for personal use, especially if you are familiar with the HUAWEI ecosystem.
However, at ₱59,999, it is entering a price range where buyers may also consider a laptop or a higher-end tablet option. The actual value will depend on how well the MatePad Air handles your specific apps and work requirements.
If you are looking for a portable productivity device and can take advantage of the bundled keyboard and WPS tools, the MatePad Air could be worth a closer look.
