Doubtful, maybe some Chinese edge case products.
The overwhelming majority of users don't need A18 level of performance in a smartphone.
It's a mature product that's been around for more than 20 years. My parents bought me a Nokia 6681 with Symbian S60 V2 in early 2005. I had Gmail, Google Maps and a real browser (albeit many sites were very difficult to use).
In a competitive market a mature product will get commoditized.
For the common user, you are right. I don't think they will see much of a difference in day to day use.
But mobile gamers might be able to use that power. Very unfortunate for the storage being at 128 GB though.
