meaning the US/Japan set HSDPA+ will also works well right?

Yes. it does

nexus 5 bought from Japan cant be used with Malaysia's LTE?

thought there are 2 models: US/Canada (D820) and rest of the world (D821)?

its US/Japan (D820)... not Canada.

Anime uses something a bit different. Most likely the player had to resort to s/w decoding, hence the lag.

Perhaps the user can try with a standard 1080p sample clip, like from the big buck bunny.

(D820) North America:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41

(D821) Rest of World:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20

Japan selling the D820 model if not mistaken, I remember I read somewhere else.

yeah, that's the curious part. which model being sold by Google Play Store Japan.

thanks for sharing

Well then its weird cause few pages back I recalled that someone wrote US/Japan set LTE can't be used here.

the verge review is out

summary:
inconsistent battery
inconsistent + slow camera
chrome page buffereing issues
8/10 score

i have to disagree with their battery test, where they loop a video on full brightness till the phone dies. Different phones have different maximum brightness, it is no use comparing battery lifes between phones if u're comparing them at different brightness. I find the battery test where the set the phones to the same brightness to conduct the test more representative of their battery lives.

also, in the verge video review where they showed off the chrome stuttering issue, that is the first time the page gets loaded, and the reviewer scrolls past the bottom, and the screen becomes blank for a while before showing anything. What I think happens is: The browser have yet to load those parts of the page and is downloading data from the internet. I think if you want to test for scroll stutter, you will have to load everything beforehand and then scroll through them to check for stutters instead of checking on the first load where the page is still loading.

all in all, one of the first full review by a reknown site
albeit one that I thnk could have been better with the choice of words and methods

which smartphone have long lasting battery? i think none

The 5S is SMOKED easily.

I found some interesting comments during I search in Google.

nice find NightFelix

here's another write-up on the LTE bands: http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/170166-...ing-lte-support

D820 works for North America (US and Canada) and most Japan's LTE bands.


however, the question (i guess already answered from NightFelix's tests above) is which model is being shipped if ordered thru Google Play Store Japan? seems the answer is D821 model.

lenovo p780..if.. it has 2gb ram.. sure nice.. but..1gb not enough for me..since i like do multitasking

Any idea which website to order Nexus 5 from Australia?

Mystery Solved.

Some guys over here in this forum HardwareZone SG, they managed ask Google Japan and even ordered the Nexus 5 from Google Japan PlayStore. And they confirm works in Singapore LTE.

So means that if work in Singapore LTE means also works in Malaysia LTE.
