Moto G5 Plus - How to open the back battery cover

[GamerCore]

While the regular Moto G5 (aka Moto G 5th Gen.) has a removable battery cover on the back, the G5 Plus is a different story.

The back cover cannot be opened -- at least not my normal means -- so please do not try prying it off. Of course it's possible to remove the back cover for repairs, but you'll need some specialized tools to get this done and run the risk damaging the phone and/or battery.

In other words, avoid doing this unless absolutely necessary.

The tiny hole at the bottom is the microphone. Do not stick anything into it!!

If you are a heavy user, then you can expect 6 to 8 hours of backup. So, basically it depends on the user who is a moderate or a heavy user.
