New Opera Mini for Android: What’s in the box?

Hey, Android fans, it’s time to unwrap the
gift: this week we launched the new Opera
Mini 8 for Android. If you have Android
2.3 and up, make sure to download it
from Google Play.
Here are the highlights of Opera Mini 8 for
Android:
Data-saving is more visual
Tap the O button, then Data Savings to
see the magic. On the new Opera Mini for
Android, the data-savings summary page
now not only shows your total
compression, but also provides a visual
representation of your daily progress on
data savings — the original size of the
data versus how much data you actually
received/downloaded after compression.
In portrait mode, the graph shows savings
from the past five days. But, if you flip to
landscape mode, you’ll be able to see
your savings over the last 7 days.
New UI for all phones, phablets
& tablets
The new user interface on Opera Mini for
Android helps you get the most out of
whatever screen you have on your device.
Phone layout maximizes your viewing
area by reducing the combined address
and search bar and menu options to one
bar across the top. Classic layout is most
like the old Opera Mini, giving the address
and search bar the full width, for those of
you more comfortable sticking with the
traditional look. Tablet layout is designed
to give you efficient tab switching.
Looking for fullscreen mode? Simply
enable Fullscreen in Settings and the
Android status bar will disappear.
You may have also noticed that you can
sign in to Opera from Settings. By doing
so, you can sync your bookmarks across
your devices.
Edit, arrange and manage your
bookmarks
On the Speed Dial, long-press any
bookmark to move, delete or edit its name
and URL. Saved pages are now more
accessible via the designated folder.
Click on the Discover wheel to tell Opera
Mini what type of news and other content
you would like to see and which language
you prefer to receive it in.
If news is not for you or you prefer a more
slimline start page, simply go to Settings
> Start page content and choose Speed
Dial only.
