Huawei has started expanding availability of its latest MatePad Air (2026), with the tablet now officially available in Malaysia and appearing in several Middle Eastern markets.

The tablet was unveiled last month alongside the Huawei FreeClip 2 S. In Malaysia, the 8GB/256GB PaperMatte Edition is priced at MYR 3,500, which is around $860, €745 or ₹82,500. The package includes either a keyboard or an M Pencil Pro.

The MatePad Air (2026) is also available in Saudi Arabia for SR 3,300, while its price in Qatar is QAR 3,100. The tablet has also appeared on Huawei’s UAE website, although the purchase option is currently unavailable.

The tablet comes in Airy Blue, White and Sakura Pink. The Sakura Pink version includes the stylus, while the other two variants come with a keyboard.

The Huawei MatePad Air (2026) features a 12 inch OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, 2,800 x 1,840 pixel resolution and a 3:2 aspect ratio. It is also Huawei’s first MatePad Air to use an OLED panel, with earlier models featuring LCD screens.

Powering the tablet is Huawei’s Kirin T93C chipset, while a large 10,100mAh battery provides power with support for 66W fast charging. The device has an aluminum body, a magnetic attachment point for the stylus and pogo pins for connecting the keyboard.

Other features include a six speaker system and a PaperMatte display designed to reduce reflections while maintaining the benefits of OLED technology. Availability in additional markets is expected to expand soon.
