Huawei is preparing to launch its first foldable PC, likely named MateBook Fold Ultimate Design, and has released an official teaser confirming the device’s debut on May 19. The teaser image highlights an ultra-thin foldable design, suggesting visual similarities to Huawei’s flexible smartphones, such as the Mate X series. This device will be part of the company’s “Ultimate Design” line, known for premium build quality and distinct aesthetics, possibly featuring a metal chassis and smartphone-style hinge.

Huawei has also confirmed that the foldable PC will run HarmonyOS as its native operating system, indicating a shift away from Windows, at least for its Chinese market. This move aligns with the company’s broader strategy to strengthen its ecosystem with self-developed software and reduce reliance on U.S. technologies.

Although full specifications haven’t been officially revealed, leaks suggest the MateBook Fold Ultimate Design will feature a touchscreen display, enabling it to function both as a laptop and a tablet. Internally, it is expected to offer 32 GB of RAM and 2 TB of internal storage, putting it in line with other high-end foldable devices.

The chipset powering the device will reportedly be the Kirin X90, a new ARM-based processor developed and manufactured entirely with Chinese components, showcasing Huawei’s focus on domestic technology solutions.

The rumored model number for the device is HPR-W72, and there’s some speculation that the final name could also include the “RS” branding, similar to Huawei’s luxury smartphone lines like the Mate 70 RS. This suggests the foldable PC may target premium users and tech enthusiasts seeking both innovation and performance.

While Huawei has not officially detailed global launch plans, the MateBook Fold is expected to compete with similar foldable notebooks in development by brands like Lenovo. The foldable laptop market is still emerging, and Huawei appears poised to become a serious contender.

Some earlier rumors from December 2024 also suggested that a foldable laptop with a haptic feedback keyboard was in development, though no brand was named at the time. Many now believe this was an early leak related to the MateBook Fold.

Huawei’s May 19 launch event will also introduce the Nova 14 smartphone series, but all eyes will be on the company’s ambitious step into the foldable PC space.

MediaTek has officially announced the Dimensity 9400e, a new high-end chipset variant that blends flagship-level performance with enhanced energy efficiency. Following a series of teasers, the company unveiled this platform as a refined alternative to the Dimensity 9400, with improvements likely on par with the upcoming Dimensity 9400 Plus.

A key feature of the Dimensity 9400e is its “All Big Core” architecture, which includes four Cortex-X4 cores running at up to 3.4 GHz and four Cortex-A720 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz. This configuration is designed to deliver excellent multitasking capabilities and smooth performance in demanding applications, such as gaming and productivity tools.

Graphics processing is handled by the Immortalis-G720 GPU with 12 cores, operating at a peak frequency of 1.3 GHz. According to MediaTek, this GPU supports hardware-based ray tracing, enabling console-like lighting effects and improved gaming visuals.

In terms of efficiency, the Dimensity 9400e aims to deliver superior power management compared to its predecessor. It supports sub-6 GHz 5G with 4-carrier aggregation, allowing download speeds of up to 7 Gbps. The chipset is also equipped with tri-band Wi-Fi 7 and dual-SIM, dual-active (DSDA) connectivity, providing flexibility and high-speed wireless performance.

Google Messages has started testing a much-anticipated feature: the ability to delete sent messages. Unlike competitors such as Telegram, WhatsApp, and Apple’s iMessage—which already offer this functionality—Google Messages had yet to implement message deletion, despite early February rumors suggesting the feature was on the way.

According to user reports on Reddit, the feature is now being rolled out to a limited number of users participating in the app’s latest beta version. Reddit user @seeareeff shared evidence of the feature in action.

Currently, the option to delete a sent message appears under very specific conditions: in group chats with 12 or more participants. It does not appear in smaller group chats or individual conversations. Users still have the ability to delete a message only for themselves.

RCS message delete is also rolling out to beta people.

The expectation is that the feature will become more broadly available upon official release, potentially working across all conversation types regardless of the number of participants.

Previous leaks indicated that users may have up to 15 minutes to delete a sent message. This aligns with the introduction of message deletion support in version 2.7 of the RCS Universal Profile, which Google seems to be leveraging to bring this capability to its app. As with WhatsApp, deleted messages will likely be marked to indicate they were removed.

Although testing is at an advanced stage, a general release may take time. When message editing was introduced last year, Google required several months to move from testing to full rollout in the stable version of the app.

Nonetheless, development of Google Messages remains active. Recent updates include protections against unsolicited explicit images, design improvements, and support for sending photos in original quality.

Google is rolling out a new feature in Android that automatically converts passwords into passkeys during the login process. This feature is currently available in a limited rollout and was spotted in the latest beta version of Google Play Services (25.19.31). Some users have already reported seeing the option, titled “Automatically create a passkey to sign in faster,” in their device settings.

The goal of this feature is to simplify and encourage the use of passkeys by removing the need for manual setup. When enabled, it allows users to log in to compatible websites and apps using biometric authentication (like fingerprint or facial recognition), a device PIN, or a tap on another trusted device. This makes the login process faster, easier, and more secure.

Passkeys are cryptographic credentials tied to a specific device. Unlike traditional passwords, they don’t rely on memorized combinations or central storage, which significantly reduces the risk of phishing, credential leaks, and password reuse. Companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft are actively promoting passkeys as a new standard for secure, passwordless authentication.

While Chrome’s built-in Password Manager already supports automatic passkey creation, this is the first time the feature has been integrated into the Android operating system. Its expansion to mobile devices is expected to help accelerate the transition to passkey-based login systems.

Currently, the feature only works on platforms that already support passkeys, but adoption across apps and websites is steadily increasing. For users who prefer traditional methods, the option can be disabled in the settings.

Google is also working on additional enhancements, including tools for importing and exporting passkeys, which would allow easier migration between password managers or secure sharing between accounts. A wider release date has not yet been confirmed, as the feature is still being gradually rolled out through server-side updates.
