About Motorola Moto G5S Plus DIY Repairs
Released in August 2017, the Motorola Moto G5S Plus represented a refined mid-range offering within Motorola's popular Moto G series. Stepping up from the standard G5 family, the G5S Plus introduced an aluminum unibody enclosure paired with a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display. Under the hood, it features the power-efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor built on a 14 nm process, available in configurations with 3GB or 4GB of RAM and 32GB or 64GB of internal storage. Launching with Android 7.1 Nougat and upgradable to Android 8.1 Oreo, the device gained traction for delivering a clean, near-stock Android software experience combined with durable metal construction.
The Moto G5S Plus appealed to budget-conscious buyers and practical users looking for long-term utility without paying flagship prices. A standout feature for its price tier was the dual 13 MP rear camera system, designed to capture depth-of-field photos and standard high-resolution shots. Internal power is supplied by a non-removable 3000 mAh lithium-ion battery. Thanks to its sturdy aluminum chassis, the Moto G5S Plus resists structural flex and back-glass shattering far better than many contemporary glass-backed smartphones, allowing many units to remain functional as primary phones or reliable secondary backup devices years after release.
Despite its rigid metal build, time and wear inevitably affect internal components. The original 3000 mAh battery cell naturally degrades after years of charge cycles, leading to rapid charge drain, unexpected shutdowns under load, or battery swelling. The front 5.5-inch glass panel remains vulnerable to spiderweb cracks and touch digitizer failure upon impact. Other frequently reported issues include worn micro-USB charging ports that fail to pass power consistently, sticky power and volume switches, and degraded rear camera sensor modules that struggle to focus.
