Ordered and received, works fine, but it only identifies itself as Fairphone 3 in the Android settings, and on the back and battery it also only says "Fairphone 3". Only on the box it says "Fairphone 3+" in small letters. Did I receive an old device in new packaging, or is this a marketing theme that the 3+ is just a Fairphone 3 with a better camera module and newer USB C variant anyway?

Yes, the 3+ only has an improved camera and is now made of 40% recycled plastic instead of 9% as before: https://www.watson.ch/digital...
Otherwise they are pretty much identical.
