FR1 (the low band 5G) is capable of greater carrier aggregation and denser QAM modulation than LTE-A so it can achieve higher bandwidths than LTE-A under good conditions. It also has better latency and congestion controls which should provide a better general use experience as well as reduce degradation in heavy traffic. It also pushes more open hardware/software standards for base stations to reduce vendor lock-in.
