After the recent ban of Huawei from doing business with US companies, both the SD Association and the WiFi Alliance has removed Huawei from its member list. However, today both SD Association and WiFi Alliance have added back Huawei name into both of the websites.
The SD Association is the one who is responsible to set the standards of the memory card. They are responsible to promote the SD card technologies too. Upon removing Huawei name from its website makes Huawei not to include SD card slot on its future devices. Huawei has to be a member of the association in order to sell its mid-range smartphone with SD card expandable storage.
In conclusion, since Huawei names have been added back to both of the websites, Huawei can stop worrying about their mid-range smartphones. However, we believe both the associations add back Huawei as their member list due to the temporary license which is provided by the United States government.
