LG is releasing a new line of premium audio devices in 2018. Ahead of the products' release, the South Korea giant has decided to introduce them via its online newsroom. Among the home speakers that LG is launching are the ThinQ Speaker and the SK10Y soundbar. LG's first premium audio device for 2018 is the ThinQ Speaker which features Google Assistant. Aside from giving users access to a digital assistant, the audio product is also built to offer high-quality sound experience.

LG is acting on its promise to unveil a slew of AI-powered gadgets at CES this January. The tech giant has unveiled a 2018 speaker lineup headlined by the ThinQ Speaker, a Google Assistant-powered device that promises "premium" sound alongside its smarts. It supports lossless high-resolution audio like LG's more advanced phones, and uses Meridian Audio's know-how to pump out "more natural and warm" music. The launch also hints that many of LG's newer appliances will be Assistant-savvy -- the company envisions turning on your air purifier with a voice command. The rest of the lineup is led by the SK10Y soundbar, a 5.1.2-channel
