Our Verdict

Ipad Air 11 (2024) vs Matepad Pro 10 8 (2021)

The Apple iPad Air 11 (2024) wins on display with its 11.0-inch Liquid Retina screen at 120Hz refresh rate versus the Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8’s 10.8-inch IPS LCD at 90Hz, making the iPad’s screen 0.2 inches larger and significantly smoother. Artists and students who need precise input should choose the iPad Air—it supports Apple Pencil 2 with magnetic pairing and runs iPadOS 17.4 upgradable to iPadOS 18, ensuring long-term app compatibility and multitasking with Stage Manager. Buyers prioritizing storage and lower cost over ecosystem integration should pick the Huawei MatePad Pro 10.8—it offers 512GB storage and a 13MP camera at nearly half the price, though it lacks stylus support and HarmonyOS 2.0 limits app availability. In UAE at AED 2450 vs AED 1749, the iPad Air is better because of its 120Hz display and Apple Pencil 2 support; in India at ₹67999 vs ₹39699, the Huawei wins on value because it includes double the storage without requiring extra stylus purchase.
