Huawei has unveiled the MateBook Fold S, a more compact foldable PC that pairs a 14.7-inch internal display with a square external screen. The device runs HarmonyOS and folds shut like a book, while the outer panel can show the time and colorful graphics when the computer is closed.
Huawei calls the outer panel the “Live display.” It sits above a section marked “AI Camera” with three camera openings, giving the MateBook Fold S a design closer to that of a foldable phone than a conventional laptop. The casing also uses contrasting colors and textures, departing from the design of Huawei’s first MateBook Fold.
The 14.7-inch screen is substantially smaller than the 18-inch panel on the original MateBook Fold, which launched in China in May 2025 with a dual-layer OLED display. Earlier reports have pointed to a weight of roughly 600 grams for the new model, though Huawei has yet to provide a full specification sheet.
Huawei has shown the MateBook Fold S in three finishes:
- Cloud Sea Blue, with two blue tones and fine lines across the lower portion of the casing
- Sky White
- Magic Night Black
Preorders in China are due to begin on November 14. Huawei has indicated that additional details are planned for the launch event, while availability outside China has not been confirmed.
