Take note;

There are two Nexus 5 versions.
Nexus 5 D820 model (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

Nexus 5 D821 model (Rest of the world)
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA: Bands - 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE: Bands - 1/3/5/7/8/20
Some people have received answers from Google informing that there is only one version available and it isn't actually incorrect because you are asking about U.S. Google Play and from there you can indeed get only one version - D820 (North America). If you want to get D821 model, then you will have to buy it from any other country that are selling Nexus 5 in Google Playstore (UK, Australia, Germany, Spain, etc.).

Google has confirmed that for me:

"Unfortunately, you won't be able to purchase the world version of the NEXUS 5 in the U.S. Google Playstore."


If you want to buy Nexus 5 in U.S. Google Playstore and use it in other country, you can still do it. It will work just fine except for one thing - if your carrier for 4G is using any of LTE bands 3, 7, 8 or 20 then only LTE (4G) will not work for you, 3G and voice will still work. That's it.

Note: Malaysian LTE Band 3 & 7
