I was under the impression that the real improvement in "5G" systems was in how many concurrent users they can handle, not the amount of bandwidth they can offer a single user.

Millimeter-wave technology is another component of 5g that is going to take a while to materialize in phones and to even solve many of it’s fundamental transmission issues. Eventually, mmwave tech will lead to massively faster speeds, but who knows if it’ll ever make sense to put in a phone.
