I bought mine from Banggood and flashed the Indian rom onto it in order to get OTA updates without VPN etc and it's been hassle free since. The OS is still a bit weird and I can understand some people hating it but overall I've found it a really good phone, even better that it's powerful as all hell and cheap as chips.
At the moment I have a China ROM phone from another brand, and I have decided to pay the extra for an international ROM as my next handset, as I am sick of getting special offers etc. that don't apply to me as an international user.
I probably get a notification every day or so that is applicable only to the China market, so I just want to feel like i am in Australia ;-) My kids laugh that my default weather city is somewhere I don't know (OK, that was fixed, but I had an unknown Chinese city weather for a few months).
That's why you flash the Indian/international ROM. You can set your country to others in settings and manually set your city as default city. Easy!!
I got a Lenovo ZUK2 and a Le Max 2 and both are running Indian ROM. Works fine in Darwin..
Fast and snappy just like my partner's S7. However both phones together cost less than the S7.
It does not support 4G B28 700MHz band which seems to be useful in Australia, no?
Quite useful outside cities, a little useful inside.
Is Canberra a city for this matter? :)
To quote Paul Keating "Sydney is the only place to live in Australia – the rest is camping out."
You know Canberra barely qualifies ;-P
Optus uses 700MHz for the Canberra fringe, as does Telstra (4Gx coverage) with some surprising gaps.

The Optus map from 2013 shows the planned 700MHz coverage as the colour labelled 'future', but this should be long completed now.

Who cares about B28. Phone works fine in suburban areas. Unless you live and work in the bush then you might want to have B28.
I'm with Vodafone and they don't have any B28 700MHz towers anyway
Its cheaper at Banggood by a few dollars($252 shipped vs. $256 in this deal) and it's been reported to ship with English ROM. Check whirlpool.
Ali still shows AU $238.37 for ZUK2, what has expired?
Any Zuk users able to advise if there is a supported international ROM yet?
I think last time there was China and India?
