Things might start to go right for Huawei as the company has just reappeared in the Android Beta Q Program. That being said, Huawei is now an official member of the Bluetooth, SD Card and Wi-Fi alliances after a silent removal in the past. More specifically, it’s the Huawei Mate 20 Pro model that will be a member of the Android Q Beta club.

Mate 20 Pro Reinstated To The Program
For your information, they shouldn’t have removed the Mate 20 Pro at all. The program began on May 8th, a few weeks before Trump’s ban. Also, the program continues to operate until the end of June, which is over a month before the 90-day reprieve finishes. In fact, it was the US-based companies that quickly severed ties once receiving the order.

What About Existing Huawei Phones & Future Android Updates?
Currently, as Mate 20 Pro is back in the list, whoever enrolled in the program should be able to gain access to preview the Android Q until July. However, that doesn’t provide an answer whether they can have that Android version later or not. Google agreed to support existing Huawei phones but did not mention Android updates. Therefore, unless things improve, Huawei will have to work things out on their own.

Huawei's Questionable Return
At the same time, there’s a big mystery in Huawei’s questionable return to the program. Also, only standard organizations welcomed back Huawei but not hardware firms like Broadcom, Qualcomm, or Intel.
The answer behind might involve political reasons. The network of these manufacturers provides an international standard for the whole industry. Although they might be working in the U.S, their products aren’t necessary American, regarding the technologies and specifications. Therefore, to capitulate a single country’ demand can totally ruin the image of an organization, whether if that’s the U.S or any other country. They could refer to such companies as unbiased caretakers of the international standards that could totally fracture the entire industry.
