The Black Shark was launched in 2018 and ran Android 8 Oreo out of the box while the Black Shark 2 launched in 2019 with Android 9 Pie. There is a chance this is the last major upgrade for the former while the latter may still get updated to Android 11.
Do let us know if you have gotten the update and what new features you like.
