Earlier I had reviewed the Android version of this app (the opera mini 5), and now it has come to iPhone also. Well, it seems that there isn’t much difference from the android version. The User interface is same as that of android, and the features are the same.

Opera Mini is renowned for its compression technology, which results in significantly faster Web-page loading and reduces data surcharges. With favorite desktop features in its arsenal, such as tabs, Speed Dial and the password manager, Opera Mini is designed with usability in mind.

“We are thrilled to offer journalists and partners an exclusive preview of Opera Mini for iPhone during the year’s biggest mobile event,” said Jon von Tetzchner, Co-founder, Opera Software. “This is a unique opportunity to introduce the fast, feature-rich Opera Mini experience for the iPhone, and to showcase our latest beta releases of Opera Mobile and Opera Mini on other platforms and devices.Opera’s mission is to bring the Web to the world, and by making Opera Mini available on yet another platform, we are one step closer.”

To download the app, go to app store in your iPhone and search for “Opera”.

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.
