The Huawei MateBook Fold is Huawei's first foldable laptop, launched in China on May 19, 2025. It features a unique design with a large foldable OLED display and runs on Huawei's HarmonyOS 5.

Here's a breakdown of its key features and pricing:

Key Features:

 * Foldable OLED Display: The MateBook Fold boasts an 18-inch 3.3K (3296 x 2472 pixels) LTPO OLED display with a peak brightness of 1600 nits. When folded, it becomes a 13-inch screen (2472 x 1648 pixels) with a 3:2 aspect ratio.

     

         

 * Design: It's designed to be remarkably thin (7.3 mm unfolded, 14.9 mm folded) and lightweight (1.16 kg). It features a "basalt water drop hinge" for a seamless fold and often comes with a vegan leather finish.

 * Operating System: Unlike previous Huawei laptops that used Windows, the MateBook Fold runs on HarmonyOS 5, which aims to provide seamless integration across Huawei's ecosystem of devices.

     

         

 * Performance: It comes with 32GB of RAM and storage options of 1TB or 2TB NVMe PCIe SSD. While the exact processor is often a Kirin chip (like other Huawei MateBooks), some sources mention Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and Intel Arc Graphics for other MateBook models, so it's worth checking the specific MateBook Fold configurations.

 * Connectivity: Includes Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and two USB-C ports.

 * Audio and Camera: Features an 8MP front camera, six speakers, and four microphones.

 * Battery and Charging: Equipped with a 74.69Wh battery and supports 140W USB-C fast charging.
