Now you never have to leave Opera Mini for your phone's clunky native browser to download images, ringtones and other content, or add attachments to e-mail. Opera Mini handles all of these files.

“There’s a reason Opera Mini has made such an impact around the world — our community,” said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera. “Your input and feedback have pushed us to make Opera Mini better with each version. I hope everyone enjoys these new features, but we ask for your candor and feedback as we get ready to make Opera Mini even more relevant to the millions of people who use us and the millions of people who discover Opera Mini every month.”

“I’m a recent convert to Opera Mini,” said Greg Andrews, a musician and Opera Mini user living in Los Angeles. “I use it everywhere I go and I travel a lot. Opera Mini has everything I need for general Web browsing, but also a number of other features I use constantly, like Opera Link. Frankly, I can’t remember how I managed before I discovered Opera Mini. It completely transformed my life on the road.”

More than 40 million cumulative users have discovered how Opera Mini can revolutionize their mobile Web experience. Not only does Opera Mini deliver the Web faster to your phone, it also displays the page just as it looks in your desktop browser. Opera Zoom gracefully dives into the content for easy reading and interaction. Opera Mini now also includes Opera Link, a free service that synchronizes your bookmarks, Speed Dial and personal bar between all your Web browsers. Opera Mini is completely free to download and use.

A message from our engineers

Opera Mini 4.1 is 50% faster than Opera Mini 4.0 when it first launched on November 7, 2007. If you have been using Opera Mini 4.0 consistently since launch, you probably will not notice a major difference in speed since the upgrade is taking place on the server side.
