About Motorola G4 Plus DIY Repairs
Released in May 2016, the Motorola Moto G4 Plus established itself as a standout mid-range smartphone within the fourth-generation Moto G family. It built upon the foundation of the standard Moto G4 by integrating a front-mounted square fingerprint sensor and an upgraded 16 MP main camera featuring phase detection autofocus (PDAF). Designed to deliver dependable daily performance at an accessible price point, the device pairs a 5.5-inch IPS LCD screen (83.4 cm² with roughly 71.2% screen-to-body ratio) with a clean, near-stock Android software suite that launched with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and was upgradable to Android 8.0 Oreo.
Under the hood, the Moto G4 Plus runs on the Qualcomm MSM8952 Snapdragon 617 system-on-chip, built on a 28 nm process. Motorola offered multiple memory and storage tiers ranging from 16GB with 2GB of RAM up to 64GB with 4GB of RAM, accommodating different user performance requirements. Powering the system is a 3000 mAh non-removable Lithium-Ion battery rated for solid all-day endurance when new. The 16 MP f/2.0 rear camera provided above-average mobile photography for its class at launch, while the 5.5-inch display made media consumption and web browsing clear and vivid.
As an aging mid-range device, the Moto G4 Plus exhibits well-documented hardware failure modes. The most notorious issue among owners is the ghost touch effect, where defective or aging touchscreen digitizers register erratic inputs without user contact—a problem often exacerbated by thermal stress or battery charging. The micro-USB charging port is another high-wear component, often suffering from loose solder joints or worn internal pins after years of cable insertion. Additionally, the non-removable 3000 mAh battery naturally degrades over time, causing voltage drops under heavy load, premature shutdowns, or physical swelling. Cracks on the front display glass and scratched camera lens covers are also frequent maintenance issues.
