LG ELECTRONICS INTRODUCES 2026 LG GRAM LINEUP ELEVATED BY AEROMINUM

 

LG gram Debuts Aerominum for a Premium Metallic Look and Reinforced Durability, With Advanced Dual AI to Boost Productivity

LG Electronics (LG) will unveil its 2026 LG gram lineup at CES 2026, extending the brand’s decade-long leadership in ultra-portable laptops. The new lineup debuts an ultra-light Aerominum material for a more portable, durable and premium design. The new models also prioritize productivity with advanced dual AI capabilities, combining on-device intelligence with cloud-based AI for more flexible work and creativity on the go.

The LG gram’s evolution as the ultra-portable laptop is accelerated by Aerominum, a composition developed by LG. This innovative material reduces the laptop’s weight while reinforcing its structural strength. The resulting chassis is built for life on the move, offering improved scratch resistance, meeting military-grade standards and ensuring long-lasting resilience for everyday use. Aerominum’s aeroplate structure and refined atelier brushing deliver a sleek metallic finish, elevating the design without adding bulk.

Select models of the 2026 LG gram lineup allow users to work faster and more securely across various environments with advanced dual AI. They also support Microsoft Copilot+ PC, alongside LG’s gram chat On-Device AI. Powered by the upgraded EXAONE 3.5 sLLM, these laptops provide fast, private AI assistance even without an internet connection. Equipped with the latest processors and optimized performance, the new models are built to handle demanding multitasking and complex AI workflows for both content creation and day-to-day productivity.

Beyond core performance, the LG gram models enhance mobility with new connectivity and security features. The enhanced gram Link enables seamless file sharing, screen mirroring and content transfer across not only Android, iOS devices but also webOS-based LG devices, including TVs, monitors and projectors. Setting a new standard for cross-platform compatibility, gram Link serves as unique universal hub across these three major ecosystems. This capability empowers users to seamlessly integrate their entire digital ecosystem, eliminating traditional barriers posed by OS compatibility. For security, LG ThinQ allows users to remotely lock or erase their PC if lost, safeguarding stored data.

17Z90UR: The World’s Lightest 17-inch RTX Laptop

The LG gram Pro 17 packs the performance of a 17-inch RTX laptop into a compact form factor comparable to a typical 16-inch model. Its expansive 17-inch WQXGA (2,560 x 1,600) LCD display supports both long-lasting productivity and immersive viewing, without the bulk of most high-performance laptops.

Driving this performance is the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 laptop GPU with 8GB of GDDR7 memory, engineered to provide ample performance for graphics-intensive tasks, content creation and gaming.

16Z90U: Ultra-Portable Dual AI Laptop for Unmatched Productivity

The LG gram Pro 16 sets a new standard as the lightest 16-inch laptop in its class to feature both on-device and cloud-based AI. Its 16-inch WQXGA+ (2,880 x 1,800) OLED display delivers a premium, immersive visual experience, offering sharp and rich contrast for both work and creative tasks. Powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra processors, the device ensures responsive multitasking and smooth performance for demanding everyday workloads. 

“The 2026 LG gram represents a new milestone in our decade-long pursuit of ultimate portability. With Aerominum, we have successfully solved the paradox of weight versus durability, creating a premium metallic look that is both incredibly light and exceptionally durable,” said Lee Choong-hwoan, head of the Display Business at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “By fusing this breakthrough material with our advanced dual AI and security solutions, our highly intelligent and extremely portable new laptops empower users to work, create and connect seamlessly wherever they are.”

LG Ambassador Challenge Boosts Community Care: New Tres Cruses Health Center Opens for Mothers and Children

LG Philippines inaugurated the newest Barangay Tres Cruses Health Center in Tanza, Cavite on November 4, 2025, marking an important milestone for maternal and child healthcare in the community. Led by Dr. Ruth Punzalan, winner of the 2025 LG Ambassador Challenge, the center is part of her “Programa Para sa Alagang Ina at Sanggol” initiative and now offers more consistent and comprehensive services for residents who previously had limited access to medical care.

During the event, Dr. Punzalan shared how the project has transformed their ability to serve residents. She explained that the center can now accommodate up to 10 patients per day, compared to the previous setup where operations were limited to half-day schedules. "I’m deeply grateful to LG for supporting Barangay Tres Cruses through this initiative. Many residents, especially in Quarry and Wellington Subdivision, face challenges accessing health services. With the new health center, we can now help more people each day, support pregnant women and children, and make sure they receive the medicines and vaccines they need. LG’s support truly gives families hope and brings essential services closer to the community," she said.

LG Reaffirms the Value of Human Connection Through AI-Powered “Radio Optimism” Campaign

 LG Electronics (LG) announced the success of its AI-powered Radio Optimism campaign, which revealed a universal truth: despite the rapid advances in technology, love and gratitude toward family and loved ones remain life’s foremost priorities. 

Available in six languages, the creative platform inspired people globally to create more than 700,000 personalized songs, with the Philippines standing out by generating 33,000 – the highest in the APAC region. These AI-generated tracks – listened to and shared over 1.5 million times – highlighted the enduring importance of human connection across cultures. 

Anchored on the strong familial ties of global Filipinos to their loved ones back home, Radio Optimism was designed to counter the sense of disconnection often associated with social media. It invited users to write a message to a loved one, select a genre and vibe, and generate a one-of-a-kind AI song. By turning music into a heartfelt gesture, the campaign brought LG’s Life’s Good brand promise into the digital spaces where people most often connect.

Expressions of love proved most prominent, appearing in over 30 percent of the songs, followed by messages of gratitude and encouragement. Family emerged as the most frequent recipient, followed by friends, reaffirming that when it comes to care and affection, people turn first to those closest to them. 

The campaign drew an overwhelming response, generating over 30 million social engagements worldwide and 2.4 billion views of its content. Partnerships with global and local influencers amplified its reach, including Australian father-daughter duo Ben and Zara, who created a special birthday song for Ben’s son, and Brazilian creator Jessie Shen, who created a touching song for her partner. 

The campaign also captured unique cultural moments, such as sports fans crafting team anthems and pet owners dedicating songs to their companions, illustrating the evolving ways people express and share what matters most. 

“Through this creative campaign, we believe we helped people rediscover the enduring values that remain unchanged even in times of change and volatility,” said Kim Hyo-eun, head of LG’s Brand Management Division. “It deeply resonated with people worldwide, reflecting the lasting value of Life’s Good. We will continue to engage with them, upholding this promise and inspiring optimism for a better life.” 

The Radio Optimism campaign demonstrates how AI, when used thoughtfully, can strengthen emotional bonds in the digital age. By enabling users to create personalized songs trained on properly licensed music from original artists, LG upheld its commitment to responsible innovation while fostering a global movement of optimism and meaningful connection.
