Opera Mini & Opera Mobile

OverviewFeaturesTech SpecsHelpDownload
Opera has two separate browsers for mobile phones: Opera Mobile and Opera Mini. Here, you can learn about the difference between each product to make the best choice for your needs.

What are Opera Mobile and Opera Mini?
Both Opera Mini and Opera Mobile are Internet browsers that allow you to surf the Web from a mobile device.
What is the difference between Opera Mobile and Opera Mini?
The main difference is what goes on behind the user interface.
Opera Mini always uses Opera’s advanced server compression technology to compress web content before it gets to a device. The rendering engine is on Opera’s server.
Opera Mobile is a full Internet browser for mobile devices. The full web-rendering engine – Opera Presto – is run on the phone using the phones’ hardware to download and display webpages.
Which browser is best for me—Opera Mini or Opera Mobile?
Opera Mobile's capabilities provide a higher fidelity browsing experience and is ideal when on Wi-Fi or unlimited wireless broadband. With Opera Mini, the assistance of servers make browsing lightning fast and also much cheaper if you are paying per megabyte. Many users use Opera Mobile when on Wi-Fi and Opera Mini when on the move.

Note:
Opera Mobile is only available for Android and Symbian smartphones.
