Huawei is taking a more phone-like approach to foldable computing with the MateBook Fold S. The new HarmonyOS laptop folds shut like a book, but adds a square external panel called the Live Display, giving users a way to check the time and view colorful graphics without opening the device.
The closed design also has three camera cutouts beside the cover screen in an area labeled “AI Camera.” It is a noticeable departure from the original MateBook Fold, whose exterior design did not use the prominent cover-display-and-camera arrangement shown on the Fold S.
A smaller canvas for portable computing
When opened flat, the MateBook Fold S has a 14.7-inch display. That is substantially smaller than the 18-inch panel on the first MateBook Fold, introduced in China in May 2025, and moves the new model closer to the workspace size expected from a conventional laptop. The earlier Fold used a dual-layer OLED screen and folded into a roughly 13-inch laptop-sized form factor.
Huawei is emphasizing portability with the smaller model. Earlier reports have pointed to a weight of about 600 grams, although the company has not yet confirmed its full specifications. That would be unusually light for a laptop-class device, particularly one built around a foldable display.

- Sky White.
- Magic Night Black.
Huawei has shown the MateBook Fold S in these three finishes ahead of launch, while promising additional details at its event. Preorders in China are scheduled to start November 14. No U.S. launch plans, pricing, or complete hardware specifications have been confirmed, so the device currently looks aimed at buyers interested in an especially compact foldable PC rather than a conventional laptop replacement.
