Huawei MateBook Fold Ultimate is an 18" all-screen laptop that folds to the size of a 13" laptop
The device can be opened 90° and show a virtual keyboard, something like a traditional laptop. It can be opened fully too, giving you an 18' vertical or horizontal display to work with (there's a built-in kickstand).
Huawei MateBook Fold Ultimate
The Huawei MateBook Fold Ultimate is thin and lightweight. It tips the scales at 1.16kg (2.56lbs) and measures 14.9mm when closed. When opened, it's only 7.3mm thick – Huawei used an ultra-thin PCB and a three-layer aluminum structure to fit everything and make sure it's rigid.
A vapor chamber leads to two super-slim fans to cool the chipset. Which chipset is that? That's to be determined. All we know is that there is 32GB of RAM and 1TB/2TB SSD.
The display is quite impressive – it has 4:3 aspect ratio when opened (3,296 x 2,472px) and 3:2 when in laptop form (2,472 x 1,648px resolution of the 'display'). It's a dual-layer OLED LTPO panel that pumps out a powerful 1,600 nits and has 1,440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. The dual-layer structure reduces power usage by 30% while tripling the expected life of the panel. It is protected by a non-Newtonian fluid and a carbon fiber support layer.
HarmonyOS PC adapts to different screen modes
You don't have to use the virtual keyboard, by the way, Huawei has built an ultra-thin 5mm wireless keyboard with 1.5mm keyboard travel. It is made of an aluminum alloy and weighs 290g (0.64lbs), bringing the total to 1.45kg (3.19lbs). Not bad for an 18' display, huh?

The Fold Ultimate is available in three colors with different textures on the outside, the wireless keyboard has matching options:

The laptop has a 74.69Wh battery inside and two USB-C ports (one on top and one on the right side). It also has six speakers and four microphones on board, so it's ready to work in any orientation. Connectivity includes dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (ax) and Bluetooth 5.2.
The laptop comes bundled with the keyboard and carrying cases for both, plus a 140W USB-C charger and cable.
The Huawei MateBook Fold Ultimate is on pre-order on Vmall in China right now and will be available from June 6. The 32GB/1TB model costs CNY 24,000 ($3,330/€2,950/₹284,300), while the 32GB/2TB variant is CNY 27,000.
Additionally, the Huawei MateBook Pro was announced today. It's a 14.2' laptop (3:2, 3,120 x 2,080px OLED display) with 24GB/32GB of RAM and 512GB/1TB/2TB SSD. It has a 70Wh battery and three USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 ports (up to 66W charging on one). It weighs just 970g (2.14lbs) and measures 13.5mm thick.

vivo Vision headset gets an official teaser video
vivo's much-rumored Mixed Reality (MR) headset is going to be fully unveiled on August 21. Its name is unsurprisingly vivo Vision, in a clear nod towards its main competitor, Apple's Vision Pro. Today vivo has released a short teaser video for the Vision in China, and you can see it below. As you'd expect from an official teaser video, everything looks great, from the UI to the hand tracking, to the AI functionality, to the overall sense of immersion that's portrayed. Battery life and comfort are the key concerns with this type of device, as Apple has unfortunately learned the hard way since the triumphant launch of the Vision Pro. So if vivo can deliver a better experience in these areas than Apple, it will be interesting to see - in theory, at least, since the likelihood of any of us putting one of these on is minimal, as vivo is planning to only make the headset initially available as an experience in its stores across China.
