Some of the main features Opera Mobile 10.1 Beta for Android comes with include: - Easy tab management with visual tabs - Opera Presto rendering engine - Sync your bookmarks across devices with Opera Link - Ability to be set as the default browser - Geolocation support - SVG support
Opera Mobile arrives on Android with a series of features that are already familiar to desktop users of Opera, including Speed Dial, so that they can easily access their favorite websites, or the password manager that saves time, especially on the small screen of handsets.
At the same time, the browser comes with Opera Turbo, which offers data compression of up to 80 percent, and which can prove a great option for mobile users and wireless carriers out there.
The company also announced that Opera Mobile for Android was made available in 18 languages: Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.
