MANILA, Philippines (Sept 2026) – Carrying a bulky laptop around just to handle everyday office work while on the go can be exhausting, but a new ultra-thin tablet launching in the Philippines this Sept. 11 aims to change that. The HUAWEI MatePad Air brings PC-like productivity and a paper-like display into a device that weighs only 509g and measures a mere 5.3mm thin.
Designed for workers, students, and digital creators who need portability, the device features a 12-inch 2.8K OLED PaperMatte Display. The anti-glare screen technology gives users a comfortable, eye-friendly viewing experience, whether they are reading documents under bright indoor lights or outdoor sunlight.
PC power in a tablet body
Rather than relying on simplified mobile apps, this tablet offers a 4-in-1 AI-powered productivity system. It comes equipped with upgraded PC-Level WPS Office, which delivers desktop-grade document editing, spreadsheet analysis, and presentation tools directly on the device.
To complete the workstation setup, users can attach the Smart Magnetic Keyboard and pair a Bluetooth Mouse, allowing Pinoy professionals to switch from tablet mode to a traditional laptop setup in seconds.
Made for creators and note-takers
For those who prefer writing by hand or sketching ideas, the device works with the HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro. The setup includes AI-powered HUAWEI Notes for smart organization and text conversion, as well as GoPaint for digital artwork and illustration.
Pre-order details and freebies
Pre-orders in the Philippines open on Sept. 11, 2026 through Shopee, Lazada, TikTok, the HUAWEI Online Store, and HUAWEI Experience Stores nationwide.
Early buyers will receive a freebie bundle valued at up to PHP 33,886 (approx. $600). The promotional package includes a HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard, HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro, PC-Level WPS Office, Bluetooth Mouse, WPS AI Membership, and an exclusive carrying bag.
