Opera Mini worldwide
According to statistics, the majority of internet users in most of the countries worldwide prefer using mobile phones to access the global network. Therefore, the users prefer to use the Opera Mini browser for convenient and faster internet browsing.

This software, which is considered to be the most popular mobile internet browser used by millions of users worldwide, was created by Opera Software.

Opera Mini has a very convenient and easy-to-operate interface. This is not an ordinary proxy-server, as opposed to other browsers. Any user with no Opera experience at all, may start using it very easily. Opera Mini works with any device with mobile internet access: mobile phones, smartphones, personal computer, smart television sets and even car monitors, digital photo frames and game consoles. This browser is supported by more than 3000 mobile phone models and the most popular mobile platforms. Through this software, it is possible to open WAP and WWW websites designed for Symbian, Android, iOS and Windows Mobile.

Today, this application is used by mobile operator subscribers all over the world to open more than 100 billion of pages per month.

What advantages does Opera Mini offer to users?
Every subscriber is able to open any website via Opera Mini.  The browser is even able to save pages to memory for use while the Subscriber is in “offline” mode.  Opera Mini has a very convenient navigation system.  Convenient interface allows you to move through the page in a sufficiently faster paste.

It is also possible to use email and read or write blogs through Opera Mini. There is an express-panel for quick access to websites. General functions of this software include a file manager, file download, page bookmarking, picture saving, copying text from the page, screen rotation etc.  In other words, you are able to use your mobile phone just like a real computer.

Why does Bakcell prefer Opera Mini?
Several versions of this software were released so far. The latest version of the browser includes a display scaling function.  In general, Opera Mini was designed in such a way that it is almost impossible to feel the difference of accessing internet from a regular computer or a mobile phone. For instance, this browser allows opening several pages at the same time.  Opened pages are shown as separate tabs, just like in a regular computer. In addition, the pages’ appearance does not really differ from their original version.

Opera Mini supports Java Script, and Java loading doesn’t take more than just several seconds. The latest version of the Program includes new features such as Overview, Zooming and Landscape view.
