Huawei is kicking off the year with two new tablets: the MatePad 11.5S and the MatePad Air 2025 — the latter marking a fresh chapter in the company’s high-end tablet lineup. First introduced in 2023 and refreshed in 2024, the MatePad Air now returns with upgraded hardware, an eye-protection display, and a sleeker design.
The headline feature is a new eye-comfort technology that Huawei claims can cut harmful screen illumination by up to 50%. The tablet is available in two versions: the standard model and a Soft Light Edition, which adds extra glare reduction and crisper visuals without relying on the company’s PaperMatte coating.
On the hardware side, you’re looking at a 12-inch LCD panel with a 2800 x 1840 resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, HDR Vivid certification, and P3 color gamut coverage. Its 3:2 aspect ratio offers roughly 10% more vertical space compared to a traditional 16:9 screen, making it ideal for reading documents and working with spreadsheets. Huawei says the finish and color palette draw inspiration from French macarons.
At just 5.9mm thick and weighing 555g, the MatePad Air 2025 packs a unibody metal chassis, Wi-Fi 7, and NearLink connectivity. The AI assistant can summarize documents, translate content in split-screen mode, and recognize handwriting. A new M-Pencil Pro stylus is included, featuring a dedicated AI shortcut button for quick commands. Audio is handled by a six-speaker array.
The tablet starts at €357 for the 12GB RAM / 256GB storage variant, with a 512GB model also available.
