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.
previous assumption that Japan N5 will be D820 is because the Japanese LTE band is much similar with N.American's LTE band..
but then when the device launched, only to found that D821 is sold at the land of the rising sun...
some sites also point out this
QUOTE
Currently, the LG-D820 would be a better fit in Japan, but that will change as band 3 LTE supplants and fully covers Japan with larger bandwidth networks.
for me.. I will wait n c local Nexus 5 price... if its too high.. den I will only buy from overseas with forwarding services... have been using this old s2 for so long.. i must endure!...

To see what local N5 price is?? Wow, u need to wait at least till end of Dec, good luck man
It shattered just like that? Awww thats bad, way worst than gorilla glass 2 iirc
The second drop seems to have destabilise the edge of the screen a bit which causes the glass not being able to hold itself together. Nexus 4 would have given up by the 2nd test!
But Android Authority drop test never impress me, not scientific enough that a lot of random phenomena can happen and affect the result.

in real situation, scientific prove is useless bro. normal user dont care about that.

What I mean is that the drop test gives me no information in the end. The fall is too random to be of any value to reflect the dropability (I just made this word up!) nor to represent a good comparison to other phones (some of his drop tests are on different surfaces). There has been some other drop tests that come with a free-fall rig to make sure the contact angle is the same - at least phones are exposed to the same contact angle with the ground. Even then, how does that reflect real world survival? LOL!
