Compact Huawei MateBook Fold S launches soon with big secondary display

Huawei already offers a powerful laptop with a foldable 18-inch OLED display in the form of the MateBook Fold 2026 and a more compact model with a fresh design is coming soon. Huawei has published a whole series of teaser images on the Chinese social network Weibo that offer an early look at the MateBook Fold S before the notebook is officially unveiled on November 14.
The device is considerably more compact, with a 14.7-inch display. Since the 18-inch model is as small as a 13-inch laptop when folded, the MateBook Fold S should be as small as an 11- to 12-inch mini laptop when folded. With HarmonyOS, the device should be usable as both a large tablet and a compact laptop, although Huawei has not yet confirmed whether the MateBook Fold S will ship with a keyboard and trackpad.
The design of the Huawei MateBook Fold S is unusual, not only because one of the three color variants features a two-tone design, but above all because of the particularly large, rectangular camera module. Alongside two cameras, an LED flash and an "AI Camera" label, it also houses a surprisingly large square secondary display.
Whether this screen will only be used to display the time and incoming notifications, or will also offer productivity features, remains to be seen. Details on the specifications and price are expected to be officially confirmed by the launch on November 14 at the latest.
