This guide’s easy to follow steps show how to replace the rear camera of the Motorola Moto G7 Plus (model XT1965). The default camera is 16-megapixel, with f1.7 aperture, object image stabilization, and a 2160p video recording at 30 fps camera. This is denoted by the circular glass on the back of the phone.
Before you begin, download the Rescue and Smart Assistant app to backup your device and diagnose whether your problem is software or hardware related.
Before starting the repair, check the list of tools that you will need. To replace the camera, a new compatible camera will also be needed.
Ensure the device is turned off and not connected to any power sources.
