Huawei unveiled its own desktop operating system last week, and the first PC running it is already scheduled to launch next week. The machine will be powered by the company’s in-house Kirin X90 chip. But it might not be the only Huawei PC debuting this month.
According to a leak from Chinese tipster Fixed Focus Digital, Huawei is reportedly working on a foldable PC, and it could be revealed at a press event later this month. Rumors around Huawei’s foldable PC ambitions aren’t exactly new.
Back in March, a report hinted that Huawei is working on a PC with an “unexpected new form factor.” The device was described as something between a PC, a tablet, and a smartphone, though there are no images to clarify exactly what that means.
Huawei officially teases a foldable PC?
Adding to the rumor mill, another leaker on Weibo claims the device will launch as the Huawei MateBook Fold Ultimate Design, with the model number HPR-W72. According to the leak, it will feature 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage.
Huawei also dropped a new teaser today that appears to promote its HarmonyOS PC launch. The teaser seems to show a silhouette of the foldable PC with “Ultimate Design” branding at the back. So the leaks might all be true.
More importantly, the teaser confirms the PC launch on May 19 alongside the Nova 14 series.
Meanwhile, another image circulating on Weibo shows that the alleged MateBook Fold Ultimate Design will be available in a finish called “forged shadow black.”
We’re still waiting on full specs, pricing, and availability, but if this all pans out, Huawei might be about to launch the most exciting PC of the year. It’s not that foldable laptops are new; Lenovo and Asus have both tried the form factor.
But this feels different. With its own OS, custom silicon, and a new design language, Huawei’s foldable PC could be something worth waiting for.
