The announcement covers the new Intelligent Eyewear lineup. Whether it can currently be ordered or used in Korea has not been confirmed.\n\nThis article follows Google's announcement and its product and privacy information, and is current as of November 13, 2026.\n\n## Google has opened preorders for its eyewear lineup with partners\n\nGoogle's announcement stated that preorders had opened for the new Intelligent Eyewear lineup. Its partners are Gentle Monster, Warby Parker, and Samsung. The stage confirmed in the announcement is the start of preorders.\n\nThe product information describes real-time translation. The privacy information explains how camera footage used by Gemini on the glasses is handled. Google explicitly states that this footage is not saved to Gemini History.\n\nAccording to the same information, this footage is not used to train AI models either. It is also not used for ad targeting. The stated scope of this policy is Gemini camera footage from the glasses.\n\n## Ordering availability in Korea and shipping dates are unconfirmed\n\nThe confirmed official information does not state whether preorders are available in Korea. There is also no basis for identifying a confirmed online ordering channel in Korea. The schedule for offline sales in Korea and preorder shipping dates are also unconfirmed.\n\nThe announcement date is given as November 12, 2026. However, the exact publication time and time zone are not specified. The announcement time therefore cannot be definitively converted to Korean time.\n\n## Battery and translation figures come from Google's product information\n\nUp to 9 hours of battery life and more than 70 translation languages are figures provided by Google. They have not been verified through independent testing. The battery figure is qualified by “up to.”\n\n| Item | Information provided by Google | Points to check when interpreting it |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Battery life | Up to 9 hours on a single charge | This does not mean 9 hours is guaranteed under all usage conditions |\n| Real-time translation | Support for more than 70 languages | This description alone does not establish whether Korean is included |\n\nThe product information also discusses the accuracy of real-time translation. However, the confirmed information contains no numerical evaluation of accuracy. Battery test conditions and translation evaluation methods are also unconfirmed.\n\n## Pricing, subscription fees, and iPhone support requirements need further confirmation\n\nThe confirmed official information does not list product prices. It also does not state whether individual features require paid subscriptions or what those subscriptions cost. The combined cost of buying the product and using its features therefore cannot be calculated.\n\nThe final minimum requirements for iPhone support are also unconfirmed. The confirmed official wording does not include age requirements for eligible accounts either. Ordering availability and the actual requirements for setup and use must each be checked separately.\n\n| Unconfirmed item | Questions that cannot yet be answered |\n| --- | --- |\n| Sales conditions in Korea | Whether orders are available in Korea and through which official channels |\n| Delivery schedule | Preorder shipping dates and the schedule for offline sales |\n| Usage costs | Product prices, whether individual features require subscriptions, and subscription fees |\n| Device compatibility | Final minimum requirements for iPhone support |\n| Initial setup | Account and age requirements |\n\n## Users in Korea need to check ordering, compatibility, and fees\n\nTo use the glasses in Korea, first check local sales conditions and whether your phone is supported. The preorder announcement alone does not establish domestic shipping availability or device compatibility. Before paying, compare the official sales information with the product support documents.\n\n1. Check the official sales page for ordering availability in Korea and estimated shipping dates.\n2. Check the product support documents for phone and account setup requirements. (Verified requirement: a Google account for users aged at least 18 · Source: glasses.google · Verified on 2026-11-13)\n3. Check whether the features you plan to use support Korean and what paid subscription conditions apply.\n4.
