It is the first commercial notebook with a folding screen and it isn’t just any foldable. It’s the world’s largest commercial foldable PC featuring a dual-layer OLED display that opens up to 18 inches and folds down to a compact 13-inch size. But there’s more to it than just the screen.

So, here’s everything we know about the new piece of tech. Huawei MateBook Fold ULTIMATE DESIGN - Design and Display Here’s how special the MateBook Fold ULTIMATE DESIGN is. Once unfolded, you get an 18-inch 3.3K LTPO OLED display in a 4:3 aspect ratio, while folding it transforms the device into a 13-inch 3:2 screen. The panel uses dual-layer OLED tech and supports 1600 nits peak brightness with a dynamic contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1. Huawei has added a carbon fibre support layer to boost impact resistance by three times. Caption - A closer look at the ULTIMATE DESIGN of this new tech. (Image credit - Huawei) Even with all this tech, the MateBook Fold remains surprisingly lightweight and thin, weighing just 1.16kg and measuring 7.3mm at its thinnest when unfolded. The device has a leather finish and comes in three colours - Forged Shadow Black, Sky White and Cloud Blue. The black variant stands out with a special “Forging Shadow Cloud Pattern” and a “Black Gold Waistline” design on the back. Caption - HUAWEI MateBook Fold ULTIMATE DESIGN hinge.

It uses a three-stage shaft with uniform torque for a smoother and more precise folding experience. The hinge opens in a water-drop shape, which helps reduce screen stress. Huawei claims a 400% boost in hovering torque and twice the spindle machining accuracy. Thanks to this hinge, the MateBook Fold can stay open at various angles, from fully flat to a stable 150-degree hover, making it flexible for different use cases. The cooling system includes dual fans and a thin anti-gravity vapor chamber to keep things running smoothly.

It boots up with HarmonyOS 5 for PC, introducing features aimed at blending mobile and desktop experiences under a “one system, unified ecology” approach. It supports distributed soft bus interconnection for fast file transfers and smooth multitasking across connected devices with data transfer speeds reaching up to 160MB/s. The system allows up to four devices to connect and interact seamlessly. You’ll find a range of new touch and gesture controls too. For example, swiping up plays a video, swiping down shows comments, and you can even cast part of the screen while using the rest. There are also unique gestures like five-finger scrolling ("waterfall screen browsing") and eight-finger taps to launch the virtual keyboard.
