Which of Opera’s mobile Web browsers is right for your phone?

The answer to this question could be one, the other or both! Opera Mobile will only work on smartphones capable of running a full Web browser application. Opera Mini will work on almost all phones and smartphones. Following are some of the key differences between Opera Mini and Opera Mobile.

Opera Mini

  • Opera Mini is a mobile web browser that works on almost any phone — from cheap flip phones to advanced smartphones like BlackBerry, Palm or Windows Mobile.
  • Opera Mini is free and costs nothing to download.
  • Opera Mini utilizes a remote server to pre-process and compress Web pages before sending them to your phone. That way, you can get Web content very quickly and cheaply.
