Huawei officially released the new tablet computer HUAWEI MatePad Air 2026. This new product features a lightweight body design with a thickness of only 5.3mm and a weight of 509g. It also adds a number of practical functions for document processing and learning!
The body of HUAWEI MatePad Air 2026 adopts a high-strength frame structure with a thickness of only 5.3mm and a weight of 509g. The overall portability is quite high. In terms of color matching, the manufacturer provides three pastel colors: Sakura Pink, Clear Sky Blue and Feather White for users to choose from. The camera module on the back adopts a thick oval design of the same color as the back panel, making the visual effect more concise and unified. As for the front of the fuselage, the screen frame is narrowed to 4.6mm, and the front lens is integrated into it, bringing the screen-to-body ratio to 92%.
In terms of screen specifications, MatePad Air 2026 is equipped with a 12-inch OLED PaperMatte soft light screen. The screen provides 2800 x 1840 resolution and 275 PPI, with a peak brightness of 1200 nits, and supports P3 wide color gamut and 1.07 billion color displays. PaperMatte soft light display technology mainly reduces reflection problems by adjusting screen light and color temperature, allowing users to reduce eye fatigue under outdoor light or when using for long periods of time. In terms of sound effects, the HUAWEI SOUND six-speaker system is built into the fuselage, providing a broad stereo sound effect for video and music playback.
In order to meet the needs of mobile office, HUAWEI has simultaneously launched a new pink stylus and slim design Glide Keyboard.

Users can also handle various paperwork and video editing tasks through the built-in WPS Office and Filmora applications with desktop-level processing speed.
In terms of hardware configuration and thermal design, MatePad Air 2026 has built-in 8GB or 12GB RAM and 256GB storage space. The internal heat dissipation system uses high thermal conductivity graphite and customized vapor chambers to ensure that the device maintains a stable temperature during continuous operation. In terms of shooting, the back of the machine is equipped with a 50-megapixel main lens and the front is equipped with a 12-megapixel video lens, which is sufficient for daily video conferencing. The device has a built-in 10100mAh battery and supports 66W fast charging technology.
