Huawei MateBook Fold S: Compact foldable laptop opens to a 14.7-inch OLED display with up to 32GB RAM
Huawei is expanding its foldable laptop lineup with the MateBook Fold S, a compact OLED laptop that is now available for pre-order in China. Designed for users who want a portable device that can switch between laptop and tablet-style use, the MateBook Fold S combines a folding display, multiple memory options, stylus support, and Huawei’s HarmonyOS PC platform.
The MateBook Fold S is positioned as a smaller alternative to Huawei’s larger MateBook Fold 2026. While the bigger model unfolds into an 18-inch screen, the new MateBook Fold S opens to a 14.7-inch OLED display and folds down into a more compact 10.7-inch form. This makes it easier to carry while still offering a larger screen than a traditional tablet when fully opened.
Huawei is offering the MateBook Fold S in several configurations. Buyers in China can choose from 16GB RAM with 256GB storage, 16GB RAM with 512GB storage, 24GB RAM with 512GB storage, or a high-end 32GB RAM and 1TB storage version. All models include a keyboard and protective sleeve, while the top-tier model also comes with an M-Pencil stylus for handwriting, sketching, and productivity tasks.
The foldable laptop will be available in three color options: Phantom Night Black, Sky White, and Cloud Sea Blue. The Cloud Sea Blue model features a two-tone design, giving it a more distinctive look, though it is not offered with the entry-level 16GB/256GB configuration.
Huawei has also paid attention to the device’s construction. The MateBook Fold S uses an ultra-thin glass outer cover and features the company’s Xuanwu waterdrop hinge. This hinge design allows the laptop to open flat and support multiple viewing angles, making it useful for typing, reading, drawing, presentations, and entertainment.
Although Huawei has not yet released the full specification sheet, early information suggests that the MateBook Fold S may be powered by a Kirin X9 series processor. The laptop runs on HarmonyOS PC rather than Windows, which means it is built around Huawei’s own software ecosystem.
Productivity is a key focus for the MateBook Fold S. It supports multi-screen collaboration, allowing users to connect and work across compatible Huawei devices. A tablet handwriting mode is also included, giving users more flexibility when taking notes or working with the M-Pencil stylus.
Huawei is also adding AI features to its Notes app and WPS Office on the MateBook Fold S. While the company has not fully explained these tools yet, they are expected to help with writing, editing, organizing notes, and improving productivity workflows.
Pre-orders for the Huawei MateBook Fold S began in China on November 14 at 10:08 AM. The device is available through Huawei’s official online store, major shopping platforms, physical retail stores, and Huawei Experience Stores, where customers can try the foldable laptop before placing an order.
Huawei has not announced the official price yet. Final payments are scheduled to begin on November 24. Customers who pre-order the MateBook Fold S will receive a lightweight backpack and wireless mouse, along with selected Huawei membership benefits.
For now, Huawei has not confirmed whether the MateBook Fold S will be released outside China. However, with its compact foldable OLED display, up to 32GB of RAM, 1TB storage option, stylus support, and portable design, the MateBook Fold S could become an interesting choice for users looking for a futuristic laptop-tablet hybrid.
