Release 15 was "5G phase 1" and concentrated on "New Radio". Later 
releases are (and were always planned to be) further phases of 5G, so 5G 
is not done yet.

It is planned to have three kinds of service: (1) faster mobile 
broadband (2) IoT with huge numbers of very simple and low-powered 
devices (3) "ultra-reliable low latency" supporting applications such as 
robots in factories, automated vehicles, and remote surgery. There are 
also big changes to the architecture of the mobile operators' fixed 
networks, mostly in Release 16. The first "5G" services the mobile 
operators have rolled out are basically just faster mobile broadband 
using New Radio with a 4G core.
