Opera Mobile 11 and Opera Mini 6 have had their user interfaces touched up, modernized, and enhanced for use on tablet devices. Both have also added social networking integration for fast sharing of URLs as you browse.

Opera Mobile 11 now has a faster Presto rendering engine and improved JavaScript performance, expanded HTML5 support (including the audio and video tags), and the ability to display Adobe Flash content on Android. Haptic response, smoother panning and zooming, session restore, and Web Open Font Format support have also been added.

Opera Mini 6 offers a full mobile browsing experience with tremendous bandwidth savings thanks to Opera's compression kung fu. Pinch-to-zoom support has been added, and Opera Mini can now pass YouTube video links to your device's built-in player. There are also better navigation controls.

Download: Opera Mobile 11 or Opera Mini 6 for your phone or tablet.

Installed Opera 6 on my Wave, I don't like the browser, same unpolished KS, Page rendering I don't like, no multi touch...back with my great stock browser. Will try the Opera 11 as soon I get the GS II

, hope that would be a nice experience

Opera Mobile and Opera Mini are two compeltely different browsers. Which Opera are you talking about?

Opera Mobile is a full fledged desktop-like browser for mobile devices. It will also render and pass Acid 3 test.

Whereas Opera Mini is a trimmed down version which parses every page through Opera's servers and then load them hence saving bandwidth and working faster on congested networks.

Even Opera Mobile can do this.

Basically, Opera Mini (imo) is only good for Java fones like my K790i.

Mini is a Java browser (on your fone atleast). No comparison can be made with the stock browser of your fone.

it have multitouch. it supports pinch to zoom. tried it today.

but it is slower than android browser. till GPRS is fast or you are on WiFi/3G, don't try opera mini.

ithehappy · 22-03-2011, 11:49 PM

@Sam- No mate it doesn't have multi touch, rechecked after your comment, but

pauldmps · 23-03-2011, 07:08 AM

^^ That's because you're using the Java version. Unfortunately, there is no native Bada version of Opera Mini, so you'll have to live with it.

axes2t2 · 23-03-2011, 08:08 AM

Can Opera mobile 11 be installed on memory card?

**ico** · 23-03-2011, 10:16 AM

Let me clarify a few things.

Opera Mini on ithehappy's fone is running on Java ---> no multitouch.

Opera Mini on Sam's Optimus One is a native Android app ---> multitouch.

Opera Mini won't support flash. Opera Mobile supports flash. Two different browsers and Opera Mobile imho is better than Android's Dolphin browser.
