The Galaxy S6 seems to be the widest supporting Android phone. The Nexus 5X and 6P (europe/asia models) also. But you need to be quite precise when buying these devices, as the manufacturers and sellers are much less transparent than Apple. You need to know precisely what model number you're buying and what LTE bands it supports, to be sure to get LTE support.

Samsung has now announced their Galaxy S7 phone. Based on the good support of the S6, I have high hopes. But there is so little information available now.

Europe is mostly universally LTE bands 3, 7, and 20. Occasionally some like bands 1.

Asia is more diverse. Bands 1,3,5, 7, 8 will get you far most places. Japan also has additionally unusual bands like 9, 11, 19, 21.

Your job is made much easier if you don't mind 3G only in the US or China. Phones are often made now in US, Chinese, and "Other" models where the "Other" model supports Europe and the rest of Asia.
