The new version of Opera Mini for black berry devices provides a new sensation in browsing websites with a variety of new features that are faster, easier and more useful for web browsers. This new feature set is specifically designed for smartphone users and will raise the bar with its uniqueness in content distribution, engagement and accessibility.
This latest version of Opera Mini not only helps netizens to access more websites, but also facilitates getting the desired content faster than before.
1. Download manager feature update makes downloading videos and music easier
With a slow internet connection, downloading is the most preferred way for smartphone users in Indonesia to enjoy online videos and music. Opera Mini took the initiative to overcome this by presenting a new icon that allows users to download videos and music faster. The new version of Opera Mini offers users to download files more easily with an automatic scanner feature. This feature can also prevent users from clicking on unwanted pop-up ads when they want to start the download process.
How can Opera Mini make the download process faster? When users access social media, MP3s, or sites to download movies, Opera Mini automatically scans them and provides links to download directly. This can be done when the user activates the Extreme Mode on Opera Mini. Downloadable content will appear as options available to the user to choose from in the form of a drop-down menu at the top of the screen. This provides a smooth downloading experience without the hassle of scrolling or getting lost in a confusing array of options.
This automatic scanner feature is now available on Facebook as well as several other sites. Opera Mini plans to increase the list of sites for the availability of this download icon over time.

2. The fastest way to get news: A newsfeed feature powered by AI or artificial intelligence integrated into Opera Mini
The new version of Opera Mini now has a newsfeed feature that is powered by AI or artificial intelligence. This feature is present in several countries including Indonesia, as a trial material. This personal newsreader works by studying users' reading habits. The more news a user reads, the more related news he gets. With the growing number of mobile news readers in Indonesia, this feature helps users gain one-click access to the latest events they love.
“Modern mobile browsers will be a gateway to the internet users of the world, and in recent times, almost all users are enjoying internet content on a big screen while on the go.. There are several challenges faced related to bandwidth availability, content distribution and accessibility,” said Nuno Sitima, Executive Vice President Mobile Business Unit Opera Software. “Today, Opera is at the forefront of the fast browser industry, introducing a lot of features like Video Boost and Ad-blocker features. With these new flagship features, we want our users to be able to optimize their internet usage.”
Some of the latest features in the new Opera Mini for black berry are:
• Compression for saved pages – Worried about not enough space for offline browsing? Well, now users don't have to worry because they can save more pages for offline use. Opera Mini's unique compression technology is now extended to the page saving feature so that the size of the saved page will be as small as 10% of its original size. This feature ensures that users save pages containing the important content they want.
• Support for video boost when using Extreme mode – Video boost is a compression technology that reduces up to 50% of data consumption while watching videos. You get all the videos you usually want with less data usage and load videos faster. If you're on a powered wireless (wi-fi) network, you can turn on extreme mode to speed up a slow connection when you're in a cafe shop and load videos faster.
• Full menu Facebook notification bar on black berry – Now Opera Mini is able to give users the fastest access to Facebook notifications without having to open another application. After activating the Facebook notification bar, users can simply drag the top of the black berry phone screen to get the full Facebook menu along with notifications.
