Yesterday a rumor claimed that the Fairphone 6+ would become official on August 18, and today the company has confirmed it. The unveiling will take place at 13:00 CET on that day, which is 12:00 in London and 14:00 in Eastern Europe.

According to recent rumors, the upgrades that the Fairphone 6+ will bring over the Fairphone 6 launched last year are a newer chipset (the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 vs. Snapdragon 7s Gen 3), more RAM (12GB vs. 8GB), and a new Cobalt Blue color option.
Otherwise the two are apparently identical. Of course we’ll only know for sure once the Fairphone 6+ is officially unveiled on August 18. The price is rumored to be €649, which is €50 more than the Fairphone 6 when it launched and €100 more than it goes for these days.
