For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Replace the battery and use it for 4 more years.
I had to use my Moto G5s Plus again for 2 weeks when my current phone (Poco X3 Pro) was broken. It made me realize how usable it could still be, it's just that the battery is basically dead. Also the micro-USB connector is so worn it doesn't work with some cables anymore, and it is soldered-on. Well, OK, there's a few more problems. It only has 32GB of storage, screen gets burn-ins within 3 minutes now, the main camera's focus is mostly non-functional (it just makes weird noise while shaking the view, but if you hit it just right it can be used), it's very laggy, it keeps losing cell signal,...
OK, it does have a few more issues, but I could still use it if both the micro-USB and battery were fine. The bezels and navigation button/fingerprint scanner are a large enough positive. But I can't do micro soldering. I don't even have money for a soldering heat gun...
My issue is that I no longer get updates for a over a year now, I'd be happy using it until it no longer works otherwise.
Might be able to get a more updated ROM, idk if Xda is still the best place for that kind of thing or not.
Man I did this to my S10, forgot, dropped it in water. Bummer. I wanted to have it at least 5 more years.
