Huawei MateBook Fold S foldable laptop pre-orders, Digi Mart USA News (China): Huawei has opened pre-orders in China for the MateBook Fold S, a compact foldable laptop the company first teased earlier with its external Live square screen. According to the publisher 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 another option in this category, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16, uses a 16.3-inch foldable OLED panel and runs Windows 11, while Huawei uses its HarmonyOS PC platform.
The pre-order listing shows four configurations: 16GB RAM with 256GB storage, 16GB/512GB, 24GB/512GB and 32GB/1TB. All versions include a keyboard and protective sleeve, and the top configuration also includes an M-Pencil stylus.
The Cloud Sea Blue color is not available with the entry-level 16GB/256GB version.
Huawei offers the laptop in Phantom Night Black, Sky White and Cloud Sea Blue, with the blue version featuring a two-tone finish. The outer cover uses ultra-thin glass (UTG), and the Xuanwu waterdrop hinge supports a flat opening position and multiple viewing angles.
Huawei has not yet published a complete hardware specification sheet, though pre-launch information indicates it is expected to use a Kirin X9 series processor.
The device supports multi-screen collaboration and a tablet handwriting mode, and Huawei has added new AI features to its 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. The company has not said when the laptop will launch in other countries.
