New HUAWEI MateBook Fold Rumoured for Q2 2026 with Major Display Upgrade
HUAWEI is reportedly preparing to launch the next iteration of its foldable PC, the MateBook Fold, in the second quarter of this year. According to leaks surfacing on Chinese social media, the upcoming device will feature a significant display upgrade designed to enhance productivity and immersion.
Reliable tipster BeijingDigitalMaster on Weibo suggests that the new foldable PC will likely debut in Q2 2026. This timeline aligns with the release cycle of its predecessor, which launched in May 2025.
Bigger Screen, Better Aspect Ratio
The headline feature of the new device is a rumoured shift in aspect ratio. The previous MateBook Fold featured an 18-inch 4:3 screen that folded into a 13-inch 3:2 laptop form factor. The upcoming model is expected to adopt a “larger aspect ratio,” which would increase horizontal screen real estate.
This change is aimed at improving multitasking capabilities, allowing users to run side-by-side applications more comfortably without the “boxier” feel of traditional panels. The leak suggests this upgrade will make the device better suited for both gaming and professional workflows.
Following the Release Cycle
If the Q2 timeline holds, HUAWEI could be planning a launch window similar to last year’s model, potentially revealing the device in May with sales beginning shortly after.
While specific hardware specifications, such as the processor or battery capacity, remain under wraps, the focus on a “big display upgrade” indicates that HUAWEI continues to double down on the foldable form factor as a premium alternative to traditional laptops.
No official announcement has been made by HUAWEI regarding the device’s existence or release date.
