I had mentioned the features of opera mini which I had experienced & used a lot on various platforms/ Mobile OSs & those are as follows:-
- Smart Home screen with Facebook & twitter integration, and it brings most of the things we do on browser on one page, however it is not customizable.
- Unlimited speed dials purely customizable.
- Easily switchable tabs.
- Faster loading of web pages which are compressed & well reformatted by opera’s compression server which uses opera compression technology, as per our device screen.
- Good animation/ transition effects.
- A decent desktop browser like experience on mobile devices.
- Smart built in keyboard with good transition effects for touch screen devices.
- A good RSS/ ATOM feed reader, which is easily customizable and manageable, but needs more refinement which will be explained in further part of this article.
- Easy tap and hold system which replaces the right click on mouse button while on touch screen devices.
- Easy cut/copy/paste & selecting text using the tap & hold function.
- Saves a lot of data traffic on web which results in less data bills.
- Whole Web-Page(s) can be saved and viewed in off-line mode too.
- Last but not the least, & most important and liked feature is that this amazing application is FREE !!! for all devices whether it is a feature phone or a high end tablet.
With all the above goodness there are few things which I don't like in opera mini and that are as follows:
- Its Download Manager, whose pause and resume function fails most of the time & it doesn't perform well while downloading large size file(s), or while doing multiple downloads at a time, the best download manager I found is in the UC browser though it has its own other drawbacks, but its download manager is superb!.
- Keyboard keys, specifically the numerical keypad on opera's virtual keyboard for touch screen devices is not well formatted for easy typing and should be improved, how? That I will let you know in the further part of this article.
- Opera’s virtual keyboard lacks navigation buttons (←↑→↓), which makes it harder for the user to navigate accurately through a blog post, email while typing by his/ her finger(s) it on that keyboard.
- Poor customization of smart home page components, which is fully customizable in case of speed dials.
- RSS/ ATOM Feed view can be much better, how? That I will let you know in the further parts of this article.
Thanks for reading & soon the next part of the article will be available to you.
