Indeed, but that's anyway the old question ... will it have an AESA (IMO most likely, in fact it is the only logical answer) and will it have a pitot? I must admit I already expected a J-16-style-radome on the refurbished J-11BGs and still think we'll see something like this on the J-15B, but let's wait for clearer images.
Hope this can be considered as better qlty. Its QR code indicates it's from military.cnr.cn

According to this image released on 1st August, the first Batch 04 J-15 (cn. 0401) was handed over to the PLAN. (Image via Huitong's CMA-Blog via @撒手锏_ from Weibo)

Presumably starting from batch 05 are the new catobar ver (guesses ofc) we've seen earlier this year? Also I m a bit confused as to why they seem to be building these non-catapult J-15s in relatively small batches of 24 each..?
