Opera Mini 6.5 and Mobile 11.5 were launched for Android a few days ago. The browsers allow users to save data securely and also let them in on the amount of information they are hoarding.
According to a blog post on the official Opera site, the growing importance of data plans has made it a must for users to remain informed about how much data their phone is using so as to save money. Both, Opera Mini 6.5 and Opera Mobile 11.5 have dedicated pages which keep tabs on users’ savings. They allow users to access the total amount of data saved as well as decide a time period to monitor the savings.
“If the really slow network you are on is butter, Opera Mini is a hot knife. It really is true, and Opera Mini has often come to my rescue, greasing the gears when the network grinds to a halt,” remarked Lars Boilesen, Opera CEO.
The Opera browsers for Android employ cloud-assisted browsing that minimizes the size of webpages by up to ninety percent. This is touted to result in faster and smoother web browsing.
These upgraded browsers come with features like bookmark importing and direct shortcuts. Additionally, Opera Mobile accommodates an updated Presto rendering engine called inline video for Honeycomb and provides enhanced network performance, HTML5 support and less memory utilization.
Opera Mini 6.5 and Opera Mobile 11.5 can now be downloaded for free from the Android Market or at m.opera.com.
