Motorola has been doing an intense teaser campaign for its upcoming Razr 2022 and X30 Pro smartphones. Both the handsets were scheduled to launch tonight at 7:30 PM IST at a special event. Now, Motorola and a Lenovo official announced through Weibo that the launch event has been canceled. The company hasn’t given any reason for the cancellation and hasn’t specified the new launch date.

Motorola has canceled today’s Razr 2022 and X30 Pro launch event. It was initially announced by Lenovo’s General Manager for China, Chen Jin through a Weibo post. The machine-translated version of the post read “I’m sorry to inform everyone that the moto new product launch event scheduled to be held at 7:30 tonight has been canceled for some reason. We still sincerely hope to bring new moto products to everyone and still be the moto that Chinese users like.”

“We are deeply sorry for this and thank you for your enthusiastic support for Moto’s new products. For information about new products, you can continue to pay attention to Moto’s official information platform,” said Motorola through its official Weibo handle.

The company has not specified any reason behind the cancellation. It could be related to the rising political tension in China due to the US White House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan later today.

It’s not certain if these events are related. Motorola could have also canceled the event due to some internal problems. In any case, all we can do is wait for some clarification from the company. We’ll keep an eye out and let you know about any new development.

Motorola officially launched the Razr foldable today in India at a staggering price tag of Rs. 1,24,999. This makes it a tough buy in the Indian market which already has the Galaxy Z Flip featuring a similar foldable form factor and significantly better specifications.

Motorola has a few offers for the Razr like Rs. 10,000 cashback on Citi Bank credit as well as debit cards and no-cost EMI options. There are other offers as well like discounted Moto Care and double data offer from Reliance Jio.

Pre-booking starts today with shipping kicking off from April 2.

The Motorola Razr mimics the clamshell design of the iconic Razr smartphone from the 2000s. Like the Galaxy Z Flip, the phone features a flexible display that can be folded at the center, vertically, to transform into a compact form factor. The Razr comes with a 6.2-inch pOLED display with a 21:9 aspect ratio (2142 x 876 pixels) and a secondary 2.7-inch cover screen upfront (800 x 600 pixels). Note that the cover screen is significantly larger than the one on the Galaxy Z Flip (1.06-inch) but that’s the only major area where the Razr gets an edge.

The Motorola Razr features a mid-range Snapdragon 710 processor with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It has a 2510mAh battery with 15W fast charging. At the back, there’s a single 16MP rear shooter with f/1.7 aperture, dual pixel AF, and dual-LED flash. On the front, there’s a 5MP selfie shooter.

There nothing much to talk about the Motorola Razr, especially after seeing that price tag. The Galaxy Z Flip with Snapdragon 855 Plus and dual 12MP shooters is a much better alternative to the Razr in India at Rs. 1,09,999. Essentially, the Razr is an overly expensive mid-range smartphone that can fold and with Galaxy Z Flip in the competition, the Razr doesn’t really stand a chance in India.
