Opera Mini Beta 5 for Android [REVIEW]

On 03/15/2010, in Reviews, by Arjun Komath

Opera Mini 5 beta for Android is finally here! Featuring all Opera features such as Speed Dial, tabbed browsing, compression, speed and a smooth design.

The opera mini beta 5, a browser for Android devices, was released a few weeks back. I was really excited because the default browser that was included in android was not up to my expectations. Anyway, I downloaded the app a few days back and wow! It was lighting fast. WebPages loaded very quickly, way faster than the default browser. The opera mini team has kept their word; the new browser is really swift. But there are a few problems that I experienced. Let’s have a quick look at the pros and cons.

Pros :

  1. Very fast compared to other browser.
  2. Fresh and user-friendly User Interface.
  3. So, far no bugs!
  4. Easy navigation and bookmark management.

Cons :

  1. Poor rendering quality.
  2. No Multi-touch (Pinch Zoom)
  3. The text alignment is wrong and sometimes not easily readable.
  4. Lack of customization in setting.
