Opera has today released Opera Mobile 11 and its Mini 6 browser which are now available on most mobile platforms excluding Apple iOS devices. Mini 6 has been specifically designed for feature phones while the slightly more advanced Opera Mobile 11 has been created for use on tablets and smartphones.
The new release brings with them smoother operations when surfing together with pinch-to-zoom features and share buttons for quick linking to Twitter or Facebook. Opera Mobile 11 now has a faster Presto layout engine, the same one used in the Opera desktop browsers and improved support for HTML5, Flash on Android, and Javascript.
Enhanced Browsing Experience
Opera Mobile 11 and Mini 6 are designed to provide a seamless and enhanced browsing experience. The pinch-to-zoom feature allows users to easily zoom in and out of web pages, making it more convenient to read text and view images. This feature is particularly useful on smaller screens where readability can be an issue. Additionally, the share buttons integrated into the browsers enable users to quickly share content on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook, making it easier to stay connected and share interesting finds with friends and followers.
Technical Advancements
Opera Mobile 11’s faster Presto layout engine significantly improves the speed and efficiency of web page rendering. This engine is the same one used in Opera’s desktop browsers, ensuring a consistent and high-performance browsing experience across different devices. The improved support for HTML5 means that users can enjoy richer web applications and interactive content. Flash support on Android devices allows for a more complete web experience, enabling users to view multimedia content that relies on Flash. Enhanced Javascript support ensures that dynamic web pages and applications run smoothly.
Opera’s Mini 6 browser designed for feature phones utilizes Opera’s servers to compress larger webpages into smaller lower bandwidth versions perfect for viewing on Android, BlackBerry, and Symbian 60 smartphones that also support J2ME apps. This compression technology not only speeds up the loading times of web pages but also reduces data usage, which is particularly beneficial for users with limited data plans or those in areas with slower internet connections.
