Huawei MateBook Pro S & MateBook Fold Ultimate Design (2026): Everything We Know

How did Huawei achieve this? The company credits its new "Yunsun" (Cloud Falcon) architecture, which uses a magnesium-lithium alloy chassis and a radically re-engineered internal layout . A key enabler is the battery: the MateBook Pro S is the first laptop to use a 10% high-silicon anode battery, delivering 15% higher energy density and 10% lower weight than a conventional cell of equal capacity . Huawei claims 18 hours of continuous 1080p video playback on a single charge .

Kirin XE90 Processor

The Pro S is powered by the HiSilicon Kirin XE90, an ARM-based chip designed primarily for energy efficiency . Its confirmed core configuration is a 10-core, 4+4+2 layout: four 2.45 GHz "big" cores (LinXi 121), four 2.1 GHz big cores (LinXi 121), and two 2.15 GHz medium cores (LinXi 120) .

Huawei claims the XE90 delivers 23% higher single-core performance, 25% better energy efficiency, and 40% more NPU computing power compared to the first-gen Kirin X90 . The NPU boost is particularly relevant for on-device AI features in HarmonyOS .

Additional design details include a ceramic composite heat dissipation package that improves self-heating capacity by 70%, allowing sustained performance at 20W .

Connectivity, Ports, and Other Details

• 5G four-antenna design with claimed 1 km long-range connectivity ability .
• Wi-Fi 7+ support and ability to share a phone's "SkyTong" connection .
• 66W reverse fast charging compatible with multiple fast-charging protocols .
• Three-segment motherboard design that increases layout density by 30% and cuts weight by 42% .
• A 3D stepped blade aluminum fan just 3 mm thick for heat management .

According to leaks, the Pro S may be available with 16 GB, 24 GB, or 32 GB of RAM and 512 GB or 1 TB of storage, and in up to five color options . The laptop also notably includes a rear camera module, unusual for a laptop .

MateBook Fold Ultimate Design (2026) — The Flagship Foldable

Huawei's second-generation foldable PC retains the innovative 18-inch form factor but brings a chip upgrade. The MateBook Fold PC Ultimate Design 2026 centers on an 18-inch dual-layer flexible LTPO OLED panel that folds down to a 13-inch notebook form factor .

Display specifications remain high-end:

• Resolution: 3.3K (3,296 x 2,472 pixels)
• Screen-to-body ratio: 92%
• Peak brightness: 1,600 nits
• Aspect ratio: 4:3
• Contrast ratio: 2,000,000:1

Durability improvements include a Basalt waterdrop hinge, a UTG non-Newtonian fluid laminate, and a carbon fiber support layer beneath the display that reportedly triples impact resistance .

Weight and Dimensions

• Weight: Approximately 1.16 kg without the detachable keyboard; with the keyboard attached the total is about 1.45 kg .
• Thickness: 7.3 mm when fully opened, 14.9 mm when closed .
• The device weighs less than a 13-inch MacBook Air while unfolding into a much larger workspace .

Kirin X90 Plus Processor

Powering the Fold is the HiSilicon Kirin X90 Plus, positioned as the flagship high-performance PC chip . Huawei claims it delivers 25% better performance than the standard Kirin X90 . During the July 29 briefing, Huawei demonstrated hardware-accelerated ray tracing running on this chip in a gaming demo — a first for HarmonyOS PCs .

Full core configurations for the X90 Plus have not yet been disclosed, but it is expected to be a step up from the existing Kirin X90 (10 cores, 20 threads, up to 4.2 GHz) .

Memory, Storage, and Colors

• RAM: Up to 32 GB
• Storage: 1 TB or 2 TB options
• Colors: Multiple sources report four color options — Shadow Black, Cloud Blue, Sky White, and Crimson Red . Other reports list Flowing Gold, Phantom Black, and Skyline White .
• Stylus support is included .

The August 5 Launch Event

The official retail launch is confirmed for August 5, 2026, in China . The event is expected to also feature the nova 16 SE smartphone and a new MatePad Pro tablet .

Both the MateBook Pro S and the MateBook Fold Ultimate Design 2026 share the same strategic significance: they are the first commercially detailed PCs to combine Huawei's own Kirin chips with HarmonyOS, replacing Windows and Intel/AMD for the first time in a major product push . Whether these devices will be sold outside of China has not yet been announced .
