My first thought was “why not?”

I think on mobile 5g might be not as revolutionary as 3g was back then. It won’t hurt either, faster download speed , same price I am okay with that.

I know your question was 5g on smartphones but I think it has even more potential in other areas. Remote surgery or closer to home think about Drenthe, Groningen or cities like Amsterdam where optical fiber rollout has been slow (kpn). 5g is potentially fast enough to replace your vdsl or cable from ziggo and be used as a main internet line.
