The new mobile browser flavors increases data savings

Opera Mobile 11.5 is now available for users owning devices powered by Google's Android operating system, and it features a great deal of new features and capabilities, it seems.

One of the most important of them, which also made it inside the Opera Mini browser, is the option to view the amount of data spent while navigating the Internet.

The same as Opera Mini, the new flavor of Opera Mobile comes with a dedicated page that will provide users with details on the data you are spending and saving. They can view either info on the total data spent, or only on a set period of time.

However, the new Data Usage view is only one of the appealing features that the new Opera Mobile 11.5 for Android has been released with. The full changelog reads:

- Added Data Usage view - Implemented adding bookmarks to Home Screen - Implemented support for inline HTML5 video on Honeycomb devices - Implemented import of system bookmarks - Fixed problem with Cookies disappearing during the browser session - Fixed problem with Out of Memory when login to Link account - Fixed problem with Flash not working on HC devices after 11.00 update of Flash Player - Various fixes for font problems - Various stability and performance fixes - Cache stored on SD - Updated Mobile core to 2.9.201 - Permissions: See.

All data that is saved using Opera Mobile is being translated into money saved, especially when users are traveling abroad. Users with capped data plans will also see this feature as a great option. The important savings that Opera Mobile generates are available courtesy of an improved Opera Turbo.

“A lot of people don’t realize how much money they can save on data traffic, people naturally want an easy way to measure how much data they use,” said Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software.

“Now, Opera Mini and Opera Mobile will show exactly how much data you save by using our cloud-assisted technology. Never before has it been this easy — or this sexy — to reduce your mobile data usage.”
