Today,Discuss Section at 7:30 a.m. ET, Motorola was supposed to launch two new smartphones: the foldable Moto Razr 2022 and the flagship Moto X30 Pro.

Despite numerous teasers ahead of the event, which was to take place in China, the company has now scrapped the whole thing, literally a few hours before launch (via Android Authority).

Motorola and Lenovo mobile general manager Chen Jin shared the news on China's Weibo, saying the Moto launch event has been "cancelled for some reason" (details may be lost in Google's automated translation, though).

"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," the account said in a post (again, it's Google translating this).

With these two phones being incredibly important for Motorola, it's highly unusual that the launch was cancelled, especially this late and without a clear reason.
