Opera Mini 4 delivers several new features for quicker scrolling, navigation and page rendering."


Full web in your palm

When you go to a web page, Opera Mini will show you the overview of the page, then suggest where to begin reading. Opera Mini zooms quickly in on the web page and focuses on the content you want to read.

Sync your online lifestyle

Now you can use Opera Link with Opera Mini 4 to synchronize the Web links on your mobile phone with the Web links on your computer. Simply log in to a My Opera account through your phone to sync your bookmarks, or access them from any other browser by going to a Link Web page.


Define search patterns

Just like in Opera for your computer, now you can create your own Web search from any search field on the Internet using Opera Mini. Simply click on the search field that you want to grab on a Web page and then choose "Create search" within your menu.

Opera Mini 4 - In Detail

Sync Your Digital Lifestyle

Now you can use Opera Link with Opera Mini 4 to synchronize your mobile phone Web links with the Web links on your computer. Simply log in to a My Opera account through your phone, to sync your bookmarks, or access them from any other browser by going to a Link Web page.

View Pages in Landscape mode

Want to view the Web on a wider screen? Just hit * # and flip your phone to the side to enjoy browsing in Landscape mode. Change your default view to landscape by turning "Landscape mode" on inside your Settings menu.*

Optimized for Blackberry Users

Opera Mini 4 offers "native BlackBerry menus" designed to invoke the same user-interface Blackberry users are used to on Blackberry devices. Now BlackBerry users can use Opera Mini in a more integrated way that looks and feels like a BlackBerry.

Give Your Phone A Mouse

Opera Mini now gives you a virtual mouse, so you can easily scroll in any direction. Move the mouse cursor towards what you want, and then it quickly snaps your view to the link or content.

Enhanced Small Screen Rendering

Opera's unique Small Screen Rendering feature, "Mobile View," lets you better enjoy web pages on the small screen. Fit any web page to width and Opera Mini 4 will adjust the page structure on the fly. Browse up and down without also having to worry about horizontal scrolling. Instead, scroll down a single column, perfectly resized for your phone.

Top features

Super Fast = Cheaper Browsing

Opera Mini 4 loads your requested web pages at over twice the speed of the other mobile browsers on the market. Because Opera Mini 4 compresses the data before sending it to your phone, your content is delivered faster and costs less to receive.

Auto-sized for Your Phone's Screen

Opera Mini 4 dynamically changes the size of text and images, making it more convenient to read — so less scrolling is required to read content.

Power Scrolling Shortcuts

Scroll at warp speed using your phone keypad. Find your way around on the web pages quicker by using your phone’s number keys. Press 2 to go up, 4 to go left, 6 to go right and 8 to go down. Hitting 5 zooms you in and out.

Create Custom Search Shortcuts

Just like in Opera for your computer, you can create your own Web search from any search field on the Internet using Opera Mini 4. Simply click on the search field that you want to grab on a Web page and then choose "Create search" within your menu alternatives. Then you can enjoy making frequent searches without having to type in the site link again.

Suggested Start Points

When you go to a web page, Opera Mini 4 first shows you an overview of the page, and suggests where to begin your reading. Just click once and Opera Mini 4 will zoom quickly in on the content.

Quick Browsing Keystrokes

Take control over your viewing options with a few quick keystrokes. Just hit 1 to open the Context Menu, where you can turn on Small Screen Rendering (Mobile View) or reload the page.

Before you click on a link, focus the cursor on a link to check where the link will take you. You can then choose whether you want to open the linked page with images turned off. If you choose to browse with the images turned off, you can still choose to load these images in the page you are browsing by selecting "Load images." You can even load the image in its uncompressed, high-quality, original size by choosing "Open image."

Tools and support for web designers

We support web designers who want to make their websites look even better to those browsing with Opera Mini. In Opera Mini 4, we have included all of the cool CSS support that web designers need to make their web pages look pixel perfect on in the mobile web world.

*(Sorry, this feature is yet not supported on BlackBerry and some other devices.)
