Jin also posted a very sleek picture of the Moto Razr 2022 displaying the date and time of the launch event on the outer screen of the device. Now would be a good moment to mention that the Motorola X30 Pro is also set to make its debut alongside the Razr 2022, but it seems that the latter has stolen the spotlight all for itself.
My dear ladies and gentlemen, we are back on track. Motorola has given us a new date to look forward to: August 11. This follows the sudden and last-minute postponement of the Moto Razr 2022 launch event. The Moto Razr 2022’s official launch ceremony will take place on August 11th, according to a post by Chen Jin, the head of Motorola and Lenovo mobile, on the well-known Chinese microblogging platform Weibo. Later, GSMArena reported this information in one of their articles.

For reference, the reasons behind the decision to push back the event were never disclosed. Most analysts speculate that the cancellation was the result of rising geopolitical tensions between China and Taiwan, which has reached a boiling point with the official visit of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi. It appears that politics spell trouble even for tech nerds. A quick demonstration to Uncle Xi why China can never attack Taiwan. If they do China’s economy will implode in a month and they’d be asking North Korea for a handout within a year.
It should be noted that the Moto Razr 2022 and X30 Pro were set to launch officially in China on August 2nd. The date was strategic in a sense given that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, the biggest competitor to the Razr 2022, will be officially unveiled on August 10th. Under the previous schedule, Motorola’s foldable would have made its debut a full week before the Z Flip 4. Now, the Moto Razr 2022 launch event will actually take place on the day after the one for the Galaxy Z Flip 4. Needless to say that this confirms Motorola’s ambition to stand its ground against Samsung, the undisputed leader in the foldable market.
