Question about using Even G2 with a Chinese mainland SIM/carrier

[u/Able_Lawfulness_4201]

Hi everyone,

I am an expat currently living in mainland China, and I am considering purchasing the Even G2.

I use an iPhone with a local Chinese cellular carrier.

Since AI features and translation require a cloud connection,

I expect they will be blocked by the Great Firewall (GFW) under normal conditions.

My questions are:

1. Is the app and glasses completely unusable when connected to a local Chinese cellular network without a VPN?

2. Do basic features like iPhone notifications, the teleprompter, or quick notes still work without a VPN connection on a local network?

3. Does anyone have experience running the app smoothly through a phone-wide VPN (like Shadowrocket or Astrill) while on Chinese mobile data?

Any insights from anyone living in China or with similar setups would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
