Opera Mini 5.1 - Lite version

After the release of the Opera Mini 5 version, which became almost indistinguishable from the interface of the “older sister” - Opera Mobile 10, many users of the mobile mini-browser said a big human thanks to the developers. But even more fans surfing the net from a mobile phone also said thank you, but not so much human, and, sometimes, not even thank you, but quite the opposite. The reason turned out to be trivial: Opera Mini 5, with its beauty and functionality, turned out to be rather heavy (and on certain phone models it was simply too heavy) for inexpensive handsets that previously got along well with the browser version number 4.2.

Well, we conducted a debriefing and did work on the bugs. Meet Opera Mini 5.1 - a lightweight version for phones with weak features and a very small screen. In order to roughly imagine what kind of phone the new version is designed for, just look at the characteristics of such handsets as the Nokia 5130 XpressMusic, Nokia 6300, Nokia 2700, Sony Ericsson K550i, Sony Ericsson W810i, Samsung SGH-E250, etc. In principle, you can not guess, but simply go from the mobile phone to the Opera Mini download page at the usual address - m.opera.com, and the server will automatically offer you the appropriate version. I’ll say right away that for owners of powerful phones, version 5.1 will practically be no different from the previous “five”.

So what's the difference? First of all - the interface. He became more “thin”, simplified. Almost all the elements presented in version 5 (panels, tabs, menus) were reduced in size, and instead of the cells of the Express panel, a list of nine items was returned to accommodate the most popular websites. True, compared with version 4.2, it has become more accurate, in the style of the entire interface.

Internal changes are not so noticeable to the eye, but they are sweet to the heart: memory consumption has been greatly optimized, thanks to which, for example, even my old Nokia 6300 could display several pages in tabs simultaneously without unloading them from memory. Well, the speed is my subjective. I could feel the acceleration of both page loading and the actual start time of the application.

In general - try, rate, share your impressions with friends and acquaintances. Suddenly Opera Mini 5.1 is just what they have missed all these years;)
