I hope they will optimize it for energy efficiency and keep the speed the same on mobiles for now.

Also, 1 Gbps is only achievable with multiple channels combined. If a phone only uses one band, it would take a lot less power, drop your theoretical throughput to 250 Mbps (which IMHO is still overkill for a phone), and keep all the other advantages of the new spec.
