HUAWEI MateBook Fold Ultimate Design (2026)
The second-generation MateBook Fold Ultimate Design keeps its 18-inch dual-layer foldable OLED screen but moves to a new Kirin X90 Plus chip and HarmonyOS 6.1, folding down to a 13-inch footprint at 1.16 kg. It ships only in China, with pricing that starts well above typical premium ultrabooks.
Pros
- 18-inch dual-layer OLED unfolds to a 3.3K, 1600-nit HDR panel with a 92% screen-to-body ratio
- New Kirin X90 Plus chip delivers a claimed 25% performance gain over the previous MateBook Fold, at a 28W TDP
- 140W fast charging paired with a large 74.69Wh dual-cell battery
- Folds down to the footprint of a 13-inch laptop and weighs just 1.16 kg
- Zirconium-based liquid metal hinge with a built-in kickstand and support for Huawei's new M-Pen 3 stylus (sold separately)
Cons
- Sold only in China so far, with no confirmed pricing or launch date for other markets
- Sticks with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 rather than newer wireless standards
- Starting price of CNY 24,999 (about $3,700) for the base 24GB/512GB configuration
- Only two USB-C ports on such a large, expensive device
Very good
