Huawei MateBook Fold S foldable laptop pre-orders China, Digi Mart USA News: Huawei has opened pre-orders in China for the MateBook Fold S, a compact foldable laptop that was first teased earlier with its external Live square screen. According to the report, pre-orders began on November 14 at 10:08 AM local time through Huawei’s online store, other shopping websites and retail stores.
The MateBook Fold S is a smaller alternative to Huawei’s MateBook Fold 2026, which opens to an 18-inch screen. The new model has a 14.7-inch display when unfolded and folds to a 10.7-inch form.
The report notes that it runs Huawei’s HarmonyOS PC platform rather than Windows 11, unlike the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16.
The pre-order listing shows four configurations: 16GB RAM with 256GB storage, 16GB with 512GB, 24GB with 512GB, and 32GB with 1TB. All versions include a keyboard and protective sleeve, while the top configuration also includes an M-Pencil stylus.
The Cloud Sea Blue color is not available with the entry-level 16GB/256GB model. The laptop is offered in Phantom Night Black, Sky White and Cloud Sea Blue.
The design uses ultra-thin glass (UTG) for the outer cover and a Xuanwu waterdrop hinge that supports a flat opening position and multiple viewing angles. The report says Huawei has not yet published a complete hardware specification sheet, though the laptop is expected to use a Kirin X9 series processor.
It supports multi-screen collaboration and a tablet handwriting mode, and new AI features have been added to the Notes app and WPS Office, although their full capabilities have not been detailed.
Huawei has not announced pricing. Final payments start on November 24, and pre-order buyers will receive a lightweight backpack, a wireless mouse and some Huawei membership offers.
Huawei has not said when the laptop will launch in other countries.
