It's hard to say. Certainly 3G is sufficient for most purposes and I think this page could make that clearer. In that sense, most modern smartphones are compatible in most countries and achieve decent HSDPA speeds. The average person looking at this page, shouldn't assume they need to get an iPhone 6S or Galaxy S6/S7.

But, if you're looking for serious wi-fi replacement, really you'll need LTE. One reason I love this Wiki, because I often need hotspot access everywhere I go, uploading video clips and snippets to my home office. It's painfully slow on most hotel's poor or overpriced wi-fi offerings, or even 3G. Now that 4G/LTE is offered on prepaid all over the world, I am very motivated to buy a phone that support all these bands.
