Absolutely Yes..!!

3 major use cases for 5G :

● 5G will not only make our smartphones better, but it will also usher in new immersive experiences, such as VR and AR, with faster, more uniform data rates, lower latency, and cost-per-bit.

● 5G will enable new services that can transform industries with ultra-reliable/available, low latency links—such as remote control of critical infrastructure, vehicles, and medical procedures.

● 5G will seamlessly connect a massive number of embedded sensors in virtually everything through the ability to scale down in data rates, power and mobility to provide extremely lean/low-cost solutions.

I'm looking forward to it, better speeds, lower power, different service levels. All of those should improve the mobile experience. As Bob Hannent explains, it won't be there right away, but some features are already out that make the era of smart sensors much more enticing.
