Currently, there is no official information available.
This issue is highly controversial among military enthusiasts.
Those who prioritize aesthetics mostly support the release of a 2D TVC version of the J-20, but those who prioritize technical aspects mostly oppose it.

Its not just aesthetics, otherwise the 6th gen prototypes wouldn't have gone through the trouble of using 2D nozzles if it made no difference.

From a technical research perspective, China will certainly conduct research on 2D/3D TVC nozzles. In fact, 3D TVC nozzle technology has already been validated on the J-10B TVC variant, and there are numerous academic research papers and technical experiments on 2D TVC nozzle technology.
Whether this technology will be used on the J-20 series fighter jets is a highly controversial matter. However, many analysts believe that the J-35 series fighter jets may be the first to utilize this technology.

Any upgrades on J20A, it has been 7odd years so I am assuming this J20A must be packing upgrades sensors, avionics etc.

I can only answer you with the words of official sources: "All J-20 fighter jets undergo upgrades every year."
Even the J-20 fighter jets that have already been delivered to the military are still continuously being upgraded.
So far best image of the J-20A with WS-15 flown yesterday and according to some chatter, apparently 6 production J-20A (WS-15) have already completed their maiden flights.

The full details of the rumor:
Earlier, someone reported that 10 J-20A (WS-15) aircraft were spotted at CAC. Three of them had official paint schemes, and seven had a yellow primer coating.
Yesterday, a total of six flight activities involving the J-20A (WS-15) were observed.
Therefore, it is speculated that six J-20A (WS-15) aircraft were conducting flights, rather than one J-20A (WS-15) flying six times.
This is a topic of discussion among military enthusiasts and lacks official confirmation. For reference only.

CAC released its annual summary report this afternoon.

No it is not and in fact this guy is a stupid fan boy posting any random claim as a fact!
Even more so since this image is well-known since January 2025
