There are many categories of LTE UE beyond just phones. Applications like professional live streaming cameras or home & business internet (free from the tyranny of cable providers) could benefit from additional bandwidth. There are supposedly also additional sleep modes for 5G but I'm only familiar with DRX modes on 4G LTE. This would theoretically be important for small battery powered sensors, but again, short-range frequencies probably restrict this to devices that don't need to rely on batteries to begin with. Maybe smart watches?
Does it deserve all the hype? It doesn't really seem like it. But cell infrastructure is definitely used well beyond phones, so I'm trying to keep an open mind.
