Huawei’s flagship tablet, the MatePad Air, is receiving its first major software upgrade since its launch. While it initially came equipped with HarmonyOS 3.1, the tablet has only seen security and feature enhancements until now.

Users can identify the update by its version number, HarmonyOS 4.2.0.210, and should ensure sufficient storage space, as the update is a hefty 5.92 gigabytes in size.
