I do think the prize will be the new product(s), since they state in the newletter:
_____ being the coming product.

I’m thinking of a FP4, or a FP3 “Pro”, with much higher-end tech specs, like 5G, several cameras for wide angle and optical zoom, a SD8XX-range processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB internal memory, an OLED screen, etc.
A lot of people don’t buy Fairphones because of their low tech specs; it might change that, especially if they’re used to spend between 500€ and 1000€ in a high-end smartphone.
This would then, de facto with the already existing FP3 models, create a range of phones as I initially thought in this topic.

I would also buy this… Maybe also some kill switches a la librem 5?

Fairphone Contest Terms & Conditions (Something is coming) - Fairphone
Just enter the email you are already using for the newsletter I suppose, or rather click on the link from the newsletter you received 
Question to anyone receiving the newsletter in languages in which the gender of the article is visible (French, German, …): is the “a ____” feminine or masculine? It might give us an indication whether it’s a tablet or a computer for example
Also, I am quite critical about the fact Fairphone are offering something one doesn’t necessarily need without knowing in advance what it is just for marketing.

en: a phone
de: ein Telefon, ein Handy
ein = unbestimmter Artikel (indefinite article)
So, no chance for indication
BTW - I prefer the surprise. Then there is no disappointment. No speculation. Reading through the post is quite funny.
Wait, Speculation “Ever Given” … LOL

Weil, you always can give it away here in the market section. I’m quite sure someone needing it will be found…

Hey Lidwien, hope you are good!
Our new office runs when possible with 100% solar (we have them on the rooftop) and it is filled with wind energy when necessary. Heating works with 100% green gas (surely not completely sustainable, but a good way forward!). Not sure you can call that climate neutral… we still have trash… (like normal office trash) Hope you like this!

Nothing novel about that 100% solar, own server, less than 1Kw day, wood for everything else, and that’s just old fashioned.
So are Fairphone going to give away a few solar panels and a controller, that would be a new twist then people could charge their phones, oh and a charging unit to save the bottom module having to be replaced
Yeap! that’s it. The prize is 1 x 250W solar panel, 1 x controller to 12v, 1 x car charger and 1 x independent battery charger.
Sorted: Now I’m happy

In my personal view this would be the best thing to happen!
I am ok with my FP3+, but it is very obvious that the SoC is just mid-range and already three years old now. Sure, I can run all the apps I want, but switching apps and especially scrolling is a bit laggy compared to other phones.
Not a big deal, but as apps are getting more and more demanding, I am not sure if this phone really will make it through the next 4 years, as I initially planned.
And of course, an OLED screen would be very appreciated! Last week I showed some pictures on my FP3+ to a friend.
He: “You really need a new phone!”
Me: “No, the phone is ok. Don’t judge the whole phone by the display.”
It’s true, the FP3(+) display looks really not so good compared to other phones and their (OLED-)screens. Contrast is low and colours are not very vibrant.
And some other phones have the ability to fine-tune color and contrast, which is completely missing on the FP3(+), there is just the blue-light-filter.
In summary: The FP3(+) is ok, but there is enough room for improvements. A FP4 would be very welcome

All this stuff about what a new phone would be nice to have is not quite the topic ‘Novelties to come in September’
All the other has been and could be added to the discussions on a number of other properly related topics

Especially as @Antoine has mentioned

I would disagree, as this is about what we think will be coming and why not e.g. hoping for a new Display module or new SOC or whatever even if probably unrealistic?

Oh, so it really seems to be a Fairphone 4.
Edit: Or a tablet maybe.
That would mean a new phone after only two years, with better specs and a higher prize? Not exactly the same like Apple or Samsung, but trying to follow their footsteps. I wouldn’t like that.
