It's a safe bet, not only because of the differences but also because of the way it's released.

Why bother make blur/low resolution photo of the J-20 while a huge bunch of clear/high resolution photos are available on the web? The nose looks a little bit too round and the canted vertical tail wings are too large to be J-20. What does this indicate? Another type of aircraft?
Is there a dense crowd of people standing in front of the aircraft? If so, this has not happened since long time ago when lots of VIP's were visiting 2001. And if so, why so many people standing there staring at it? A significantly different version of it that warrants a group visit again?
Agreed. The nose looks too round to be J-20.
This particular plane was in the background of those clear J20 pictures, it's too far away and tucked inside the hanger so it's extremely difficult to get a clear picture from the airfield perimeter.
The nose is faceted. The picture quality and lighting are both poor, but you can tell by the slightly darker colour of the bottom half. Also if you look at other pictures of the J-20 the width between the vertical tails isn't too big. Pretty sure that it's the J-20. Not as sure if we're looking at 2003.
This should settle the question. It appears the aircraft has the full avionics package.
