Huawei Unveils MatePad Air (2026)
Huawei has officially announced the upcoming launch of its latest tablet, the MatePad Air (2026), set to hit the Indonesian market on September 18, 2026. This device embodies the concept of an 'Ultra-Thin PC-like Tablet Made for Everything You Do with AI,' merging an incredibly slim body with productivity capabilities akin to a PC supported by artificial intelligence (AI).
Design and Build Quality
The MatePad Air (2026) showcases an impressive Air-Light Design, with a thickness of just 5.3 mm and weighing only 509 grams. Even when paired with the Smart Magnetic Keyboard, the total weight remains a manageable 817 grams, making it highly portable for users on the go.
The aesthetic appeal of the tablet is enhanced by the Pearlescent Sheen E-Coating Process 2.0, which provides a premium glossy finish, alongside a stylish Star Orbit DECO camera module. To facilitate daily tasks, the device comes fully integrated with the Smart Magnetic Keyboard, Huawei M-Pencil Pro, and a Bluetooth Mouse.
Enhanced Productivity Features
Productivity is a key focus for this tablet, with Huawei integrating AI technology into various built-in applications. For the first time in the MatePad Air lineup, the device features a 12-inch 2.8K OLED Eye-Soothing PaperMatte Display, boasting a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz and a screen-to-body ratio of 92%. This PaperMatte technology offers a natural writing experience that mimics paper, coupled with anti-glare capabilities and up to 20% improvement in anti-reflection, ensuring comfortable usage even in bright sunlight.

Under the hood, the MatePad Air is powered by a robust 10,100 mAh battery, supporting Huawei's 66W SuperCharge for fast charging. The tablet can provide up to 10 hours of video playback and up to 8 hours of meeting sessions on a single charge.
