MatePad Air: AI Tablet
Huawei MatePad Air Lands in Malaysia with 12-inch OLED, AI Features, and Extensive Promos
Key Points
The MatePad Air features a 12-inch OLED display with a 50MP rear camera and a 12MP front camera for photos, video calls, and general usage.
It uses a six-speaker system with a dual microphone setup to enhance audio during media playback, calls, and presentations.
Huawei highlights a PaperMatte anti-glare treatment on the 12-inch OLED display, offering up to 1200 nits peak brightness and wide color coverage (P3, 1.07 billion colors).
Launch pricing includes RM3,999 as the list price with a promotion valued up to RM4,503, including a RM500 rebate that can reduce the price to RM3,499 plus freebies such as the M-Pencil Pro, Smart Magnetic Keyboard, and Wireless Mouse.
Purchase and promo availability is through Huawei Malaysia’s website and official stores on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop, with retail partners nationwide.
Huawei has launched the MatePad Air in Malaysia at RM3,999 — about $981 USD — making it one of the most feature-packed tablets in its price range. The device ships with a 12-inch OLED display, a Kirin T93C chip, and a free accessory bundle worth up to RM4,503 during the launch promo, according to KLGadgetGuy.
The MatePad Air runs HarmonyOS and is designed as a portable productivity machine. It supports the M-Pencil Pro stylus and a magnetic keyboard, giving it a laptop-like feel in a body just 5.3mm thin and 509g light, Headtopics reported.
A 12-Inch OLED Screen Built to Rival Paper
The display is the MatePad Air's biggest selling point. It measures 12 inches with a 2800x1840 resolution and refreshes at 144Hz, which means motion looks smooth during scrolling and video. Peak brightness hits 1,200 nits, and it covers the P3 color space with 1.07 billion colors, according to Headtopics.
Huawei added a PaperMatte anti-glare coating to cut down reflections. This treatment makes the screen easier to read outdoors or under bright lights. For photos and video calls, the tablet packs a 50MP rear camera and a 12MP front camera, KLGadgetGuy noted.
Kirin Chip, Big Battery, and Six Speakers Inside
Under the hood, the MatePad Air runs on a Kirin T93C chip paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. A 10,100 mAh battery powers the device, and 66W fast charging means you can top it up quickly. TechTimes described it as the world's thinnest 12-inch OLED tablet.
Audio gets a boost from a six-speaker system and a dual microphone setup. That makes it better suited for presentations, video calls, and media compared to most tablets in its class. The slim 5.3mm body fits all of this without added bulk, Headtopics reported.
HarmonyOS AI Tools Aim to Replace Your Laptop
The MatePad Air runs HarmonyOS with a suite of built-in AI tools. These include AI Tutor, AI Handwriting Enhancement, live transcription, and AI-generated slides. WPS Office and Huawei Notes are also AI-enhanced, letting users draft documents or take notes faster, according to KLGadgetGuy.
The M-Pencil Pro stylus and Smart Magnetic Keyboard make multi-app workflows feel more like a PC setup. Huawei designed the tablet to handle writing, note-taking, and office tasks on the go. Headtopics called it a versatile device built around portable productivity.
Launch Promo Cuts Price to RM3,499 With Free Accessories
The list price is RM3,999, but a launch promo brings it down to RM3,499 after a RM500 rebate. Buyers also get a free M-Pencil Pro, Smart Magnetic Keyboard, and Wireless Mouse — a bundle Huawei values at up to RM4,503, KLGadgetGuy reported. The tablet comes in Sakura Pink, Airy Blue, and White.
The MatePad Air is available through Huawei Malaysia's website and official stores on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop, as well as retail partners across the country. However, TechTimes flagged that the device carries obligations under China's data laws, which may concern buyers focused on data privacy.
