Isn’t the only improvement in 5G larger channel widths?

In the news:
AT&T-owned Cricket Wireless is enabling 5G support on some of its
plans, . . . the company’s only 5G compatible device so far
is the
$1,199 Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus. And getting access to 5G on
Cricket requires
subscribing to one of its Unlimited plans, which start at $60
per month.
Cricket will likely use AT&T’s low-band 5G network (the
announcement
didn’t specify much in the way of technical details), which
uses low-band
850MHz spectrum technology that has broader range but slower
speeds than its
mmWave 5G, which AT&T calls its 5G Plus network.
The latter is currently limited to developers and select
businesses.
T-Mobile also offers its low-band 5G, which it launched in
December, to its
Metro prepaid customers.
So, they are finally admitting (it appears) that 5G for mobile
devices is
marketing hype as we all have known. Just one number higher than 4G.
If it uses low band then it is not anything new in my opinion. mm
wave for
a mobile device is nothing more than a lab creature. And I
believe it will
remain that way.
