If you have slow internet on your smartphone, chances are that you also have a slow smartphone, and therefore decoding performance matter, it may also save you a bit of battery life for the same reason, which may be important in place with little internet coverage. You have to find a balance, and unless (still) pictures are at the center of what you are doing, it is typically only a fraction of the bandwidth (and a fraction of the processing power too). We are not talking about 100 Mbps, we downloaded JPEGs from dialup connections you know. You don't even need to go into the Mbps unless you are streaming MJPEG (and why would you do that?).
