Are all N5's the same?

[wise_guy69]

Sorry if this question has been asked and answered; I searched for it but did not find it...

My question is pretty basic - are the Nexus 5's sold by Sprint (and eventually T-Mobile) the same as those sold unlocked via Google Play? I know this question was asked about the N4 and believe the answer was yes they're the same, but I wasn't sure about the N5.

Thanks in advance..

To answer your first question, no not all Nexus 5s are the same. There are two models: A North America model, and a European model. However it appears the only difference between them is what LTE frequencies they support.

As for within the US, they are all the same models though it remains to be seen what Sprint/T-Mobile will do to the ones they sell in store.
