Yeah okay we're getting a tea party with this one
The nozzles don't seem to be serrated at the part where it's in-between the nozzles and the yellow fuselage? Or is it just lots of small serrations?

Small I think. Gotta zoom way in to see.

It looks legit.
Indeed. Characteristics match with older photos; thinner silver ring, longer petals, etc.
It does look legit, and the engine nozzles are certainly distinct from the other ones we know of, while looking consistent with the blurry images of WS-15s that we've seen on this airframe in the past year or so.
Always worth keeping some mild skepticism in mind given how good photoshopping is these days -- ideally if we can get a few more high quality images like this from different angles -- but this overall smells okay for now

Look real to me .. woww, the implication would be huge, wondering whether it would be called J-20B or something else ?
It's already called J-20A.
The J-20B designation is likely either for the twin-seater variant or some future-developed variants.

It's called J-20A. Deino specifically called it as J-20A in his post, and it's been consensus for about a year or more now that its name for this variant is J-20A.

really? usually upgrading the engine would follow with a new letter (?)
