Tablet · Huawei Test · 2024
The Huawei MatePad Air (2024) 128GB is Huawei Test's 2024 tablet featuring a 12.0 inches, 426.4 cm2 (~86.3% screen-to-body ratio) display. It comes with a 10100 mAh battery. At AED 1,599 in the UAE and ₹35,999 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The Huawei MatePad Air (2024) excels with its 12-inch 144Hz IPS LCD display, offering vibrant colors and smooth motion at 1000 nits peak brightness, making it one of the brightest non-OLED tablets in its class. It supports the M-Pencil 3 stylus for precise note-taking and sketching, though the stylus is sold separately. The 10100 mAh battery delivers all-day endurance for reading, streaming, or light multitasking on HarmonyOS 4.2. Its 555g weight feels substantial during prolonged use, and the lack of cellular connectivity limits mobility. In UAE at AED 1599, it’s worth it because the screen and battery outperform similarly priced Android tablets. In India at ₹35999, it’s overpriced—competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE offer comparable screens with better software support and cellular options at lower cost. The absence of Google services and limited app ecosystem further narrows its appeal outside Huawei’s ecosystem.
