The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

The MatePad Air combines a sharp 144Hz display with strong Snapdragon 888 performance, but its battery, mono audio and HarmonyOS 3.1 hold it back.

What is good

  • 11.5-inch 2800×1840 display with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate
  • Snapdragon 888 with Adreno 660 delivers capable performance
  • Wi-Fi 6 and 4G provide versatile connectivity

What is not

  • 8300 mAh battery is modest for this tablet class
  • Mono speakers limit the multimedia experience
  • HarmonyOS 3.1 offers a less mature tablet experience
