Our Verdict

Ipad Air 11 (2024) vs Matepad Pro 12 6 (2021)

The Apple iPad Air 11 (2024) wins on display: 11-inch vs 12.6-inch (1.6 inches smaller), 120Hz ProMotion LCD vs 120Hz OLED, with sharper 264 ppi density versus 240 ppi. Artists and students should choose the iPad Air 11 for full Apple Pencil 2 support, M2 chip performance for multitasking, and seamless integration with Magic Keyboard and other accessories. The Huawei MatePad Pro 12.6 suits media consumers needing a larger 12.6-inch OLED screen and 512GB storage at lower cost, but lacks stylus precision and has no official keyboard ecosystem in UAE/India. In UAE at AED 2450 vs AED 2199, the Huawei wins on value because it offers 1.6 inches more screen and double the storage for AED 251 less; in India at ₹67999 vs ₹49999, the Huawei wins on value because it delivers 256GB more storage and a larger OLED panel for ₹18000 less, despite no stylus support.
