Opera mobile browsers have long and firmly held leading positions both in the world and in the Russian market, and if in the world competitors, as they say,
“breathe in the back” , in Russia they still
do not even dream about it . Therefore, it is not surprising that Russian mobile device manufacturers, wishing to make the network life of their customers more comfortable, often choose Opera browsers to be pre-installed. Thus, they save users' time and money - after all, buyers will still independently download and install Opera on the newly acquired device, so why not go to meet them?

This is exactly how the Alkotel Electronic Systems company, better known in Russia by the
teXet brand,
acted - starting in March of this year, all Android tablets and smartphones coming on sale from this manufacturer
will have Opera Mini or Opera Mobile on board . And considering that the most popular search service for us is Yandex, special assemblies were chosen for the pre-installation - Yandex Opera Mini and Yandex Opera Mobile. They are no different in functionality from the usual versions, but at the same time they are better adapted to the Russian market due to closer integration with Yandex services.
Today, the number of devices on the Android platform is growing in Russia no less rapidly than in the rest of the world. At the same time, the growth in the number of users of Opera browsers for this platform also sets records. So in 2011, the growth in the number of Russian Opera Mobile users on Android devices was more than 1570%, and the monthly increase in the number of Opera Mini users for this platform is more than 24%. According to unofficial estimates, today the share of Opera browsers on Russian Android devices exceeds 60%.
