After being forced to cancel the actual launch event that was supposed to take place on August 2, Motorola finally launched the much-awaited Moto Razr 2022 in China today. The Moto Razr 2022 is supposed to take on the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4.
Motorola also launched the Moto X30 Pro, and the Moto S30 Pro, of which the X30 Pro is the true flagship device from the Chinese tech giant.
The newly unveiled Razr 2022 is a flagship device featuring the latest Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. The new Razr also has a foldable 144Hz P-OLED display, a secondary screen, two 50-megapixel cameras on the back, and a large battery that can be charged quickly.
The Moto X30 Pro, on the other hand, comes with a 200MP main camera, and some seriously top-of-the-line specifications. For example, it gets Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset and gets a 4,500mAh battery with 125W fast charging and 50W of wireless charging.
We take a look at the specifications and prices of the Moto Razr 2022 and the X30 Pro, and the expected dates of their Indian launch.

The back panel of the device features a 2.7-inch P-OLED display. The secondary display will have more functionality than what the Galaxy Z Flip 4 has to offer and can be used as a viewfinder for rear cameras, to check for messages, or even to play light games.
Above the secondary display is a horizontal dual-camera setup, which has an OIS-enabled 50MP camera, and a 13MP ultra-wide shooter, which also functions as a macro camera. The display punch-hole on the display houses a 32MP camera.
