Huawei MatePad Air:

So, the weight class is quite competitive among these brands. However, we have some huge expectations on the shoulders of Huawei MatePad Air in terms of weight reduction as compared to all of the above-mentioned iPad tablets.

For your information, Huawei recently certified three new tablet models including DBY2-AL00, DBY2Z-AL00, and DBY2-W00. These include WiFi and LTE models. Other than these, the tablet equips a large 8200mAh battery, which reflects a huge screen size.

These models are likely to belong to the Huawei MatePad Air but we can’t confirm a certain viewpoint at the moment. However, we’re not far away from the unveiling to know the exact identity and the weight cut.
