The key is the size of the mini USB plug which is fairly clearly shown in the image, that is an object with a known size within a mm or so, from that someone should be able to determine the size of the screen roughly enough to say whether it is a mini, 6", 7" or 7.8" screen.
On my monitor the mini USB port in the image is 4mm and the screen length in the image is 85mm.
On my Kobo Aura the size of the real mini USB port is roughly 7.5mm.
7.5/4 is 1.875. 1.875 * 85mm is 159.4mm.
So my guess is the length of the screen is roughly 160mm which will make is a 7.8 inch display.
Can anyone get a more accurate estimate?
EDIT: Of course all of this depends upon that actually being a mini USB port, I could be wrong.

I've estimated the size at 181.5 mm vertical length. I used a pixel distance of 18 for the Micro-usb port and a pixel distance of 412 for the overall length.
I own both an Aura One and an Aura H2O. The USB ports on both are roughly 7.93 mm.
So, 18/412 = 7.93/X
X = 181.5 roughly
The official specs for the Aura One give its vertical length as 195.1 mm.
This device/ the Forma features visibly reduced vertical bezels, relative to the Aura One. Reduced enough to accommodate the 13.6 mm (.535 inch) reduction in height.
Therefore, I feel certain that this will be a 7.8" device
