This only due to lack of quality control in the spare parts. This is the branded problem of Moto g3.

Moto G4 was received with card installed, but decided to switch to another line. So Consumer Cellular send another SIM. A pin broke off while getting the original card out. Three day old phone :(

I also used phone with one slim for 10months happily. As soon as I started using second slim, it started giving me troubles and finally same thing happened...the second slim slot got damaged with pins coming out like plastic...poor n pathetic quality. — Devang Vaidya
Same here, Moto G4+ came with a broken sim-slot, the pins must've been soldered on with not enough solder. — John Voesten
The Nano Micro combo sim cards are the foolish thing the service providers do If we use the sim as micro it gets split up and damages the mobile sim slot — snpillai4

Hi abhijith jayakumar,

Yes! If you can purchase a new SIM card reader, the piece is replaceable! A guide has been written to explain this process and will likely be published within two weeks. When it becomes available, you should be able to access it with this link:

Motorola Moto G 3rd Generation SIM/SD Card PCB Replacement

Good luck!

James
