Is this legit or am I being had?

Did they use a flip phone to take this photo? 
My guess this is photoshopped and they had to add noise and lower image quality otherwise it would be more obvious.
What looks interesting to me is that the extruder window looks like a slot. Is there something that shifts side to side to possibly change filaments that way? Dual feed tube /single nozzle. And then all you have to do is a little Purge in between?

Yeah I wonder why they have that, the A1 works fine with the round window… And is the last number - the 340 the build volume height? I guess the smaller tool head helps
I don’t think it’s on accident that the picture is zoomed in so much that you can’t see the top of the tool head

Here’s a shot from the H2D, from roughly the same angle, although more wide open. Thought it could be interesting to see how some of the internals were adjusted.
The aux fan is higher up. I don’t think it has a side window like the H2D. I think it might just be a gray panel.

This may also be an early version/prototype of what is now the “H2D”.
Oh and Josh, check your DM.

The H2D aux fan already had two mounting positions, so this product must have been planned before that was tooled! And that also lines up with the extra 15mm build height.
The left side cutter pin is also not there for obvious reasons.
I think this will be called the H2S

I remember somewhere bambu said something that led everyone to believe that there be multiple versions coming out this year. So I think this might be like the new p1s. H1S. H2S, dual feed tubes to both sell you 2 ams units and quicker changes with a lighter tool head.

I hope that you are right.
Oh yes it looks like two tubes. I wonder if the eyeball goes left and right in the window depending on which tube is used?
The Bambu hydrogen sulfide 
I guess I’ll keep my meter on me after work

IMHO fake and bad photoshop editing

I’m not even sure what you’re pointing out

I think he’s showing that the air dam almost looks like it has a glitch on the editing when they tried to make it narrower. If that’s what they were doing. Almost looks like it has a wing on the right side of the air dam for the nozzle

I think BL is busy on the next gen of one of the other series (X, P, A) right now. H2D is more of a specialty printer for BL.

Thats a real photo, they are working on a single head model, it was part of the development code leaks. N2D was H2D and N2 will be this, maybe H2 or a new letter.

I think its reasonable to believe a single nozzle variant is in their heads. It only makes sense to re-use much of the current hardware considering their past plans.
The 340mm width in build area seems to make sense (centering the nozzle, should increase the the single nozzle build area by half of the nozzle size + the spacing between the two, 15mm seems very close). However it would be odd for them to change the advertising order for the dimensions. That said, I’d imagine the loss of the nozzle lifting and ooze guard could account for a lot of that 340mm in height.
The Photoshop question doesn’t look like a Photoshop error to me. That looks like a different modeling shape for the fan ducts. That’s not unheard of, because the fan ducts can’t be the same. They need to bridge a longer distance now that there is only one nozzle. Also, I would argue both sides appear to be more sculpted on this machine.
I would guess its real.

It looks like there is a little wing but I think it’s just the JPEG compression algo having trouble - the grey of the fan duct and the alum frame are such similar colours at the transition that there is no discernible edge.

Why do I want this even though I have an H2D?
