Huawei MatePad Air (2025) Specifications, Pros and Cons
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Huawei MatePad Air (2025) is a sleek and powerful Android alternative, launched in August 2025, designed for both work and play on the go. Right away, it comes with a 12-inch display that grabs your attention. It’s not just big, but also incredibly smooth with a 144Hz refresh rate and 2800 x 1840 pixels resolution. This ensures buttery-smooth scrolling and gaming, delivers up to 1000 nits of brightness for outdoor use, and supports HDR Vivid for immersive viewing. All of this is packed into a remarkably thin and light aluminum body, weighing just 555g and measuring under 6mm thick, making it a perfect travel companion. Under the hood, this tablet is built for performance. It runs on the latest HarmonyOS 5.0 and comes with a generous 12GB of RAM paired with your choice of 256GB or 512GB of storage.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Qualcomm Adreno 660: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC.

Qualcomm Snapdragon:

SD 888 4G: High-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in mid 2021 and manufactured in 5 nm at Samsung. Integrates one “Prime Core” based on a ARM Cortex-X1 architecture clocked at up to 2.84 GHz. Three more performance cores are based on the A78 but clock up to 2.42 GHz. Furthermore, four energy saving cores are integrated that are based on the ARM Cortex-A55 architecture and clock at up to 1.8 GHz. In addition to the processor cores, the SoC integrates a WiFi 6e modem, a Hexagon 780 DSP (up to 26 TOPS of AI performance) and a Spectra 580 ISP. The integrated memory controller now supports faster LPDDR5 memory with up to 3,200 MHz. Compared to the 888 5G, the 888 4G only integrates a 4G LTE modem.

12.00:

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.

The same applies to tablets in this size range.
