While we might argue about the ways 5G is different from, or an improvement over 4G, a few capabilities really stand out. Every next-generation mobile network improves latency and speed, so that is not unusual. But the 5G standard made explicit efforts to allow support for a higher density of devices and energy efficiency.
Some might argue that better energy efficiency arguably has been an attribute of each digital next-generation network. Also, some would argue that higher capacity (bandwidth) and higher speed are different expressions of a single improvement.
Some might say 5G is different also in that it was expressly designed to support machine-to-machine use cases (internet of things sensors).
