Opera has released a new version of Opera Mobile for users of Android. The newly released full fledged web browser looks to bring a wealth of features for good. Below is the official list of changes from Opera’s PR release;
- WebGL on Android phones, for all things 3D and web. With WebGL on mobile, it’ll be even easier to make games cross platform and to distribute them. “Opera have contributed significantly to the development of the WebGL specification and now Opera Mobile is playing a leading role in the roll-out of GPU-accelerated WebGL on Android,” said Neil Trevett, Khronos president and vice president of mobile content at NVIDIA.
- Ragnarök, Opera’s HTML5 parser support, meaning better web apps and increased compatibility with websites. More HTML5 means more advanced web functionality.
- Support for camera use in the browser.
- More possibilities for customizing the Speed Dial of Opera Mobile, including entering as many Speed Dial entries as you like.

Those who don’t know the difference between Opera Mobile and Opera Mini, here is a simple line. Opera mini looks to save bandwidth and serves you a more compact page which is devoid of any javascript, form or flash. However, Opera Mobile gives you the full fledged experience that you would normally get with any desktop browser.
Opera also announced the upcoming implementation of the Opera Mini browser. Social integration is one of the most hyped feature of the upcoming release.
“When people think of using social networks on the go, they often imagine a smartphone with the latest apps installed. At Opera, we know that’s not the way a majority of mobile phone owners access their social networks,” says Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software.
“That’s why we’ve made ‘ordinary’ phones smarter, by making it easier to use the most popular social networks right in the first screen of Opera Mini for feature phones. Just because you’re on a more basic phone, doesn’t mean you can’t be a active social networker.” – Opera PR.
