Opera for Android

Discover browser beauty with Opera for Android

There's a lot of thought that goes into choosing the best. A decent lump of cash, some serious research and a lot of thought are what most people put into purchasing their new Android smartphone. Why not make sure it's also set up to discover the best new stuff on the web? The Opera for Android browser, now out in the final version, gives you the easiest, fastest way to discover a world of new content on your Android phone.


Opera has rethought, redesigned and rebuilt the browser experience into a thing of beauty. But what is beauty without brains? Opera for Android has something for both brain hemispheres.

The interface of Opera has been redesigned, with a lighter color scheme, and made super intuitive to use. Opera for Android brings a new perspective of the web to your smartphone, ready to go after a quick and free install from the Google Play store. It's our Discover feature, and you're going to call it the best thing to happen to a browser since the back button.

With Discover, finding new and inspiring articles is just a quick swipe to the right from your home screen. It's like having an itsy-bitsy personal assistant in the browser, scouting out the hottest news and feeding it to people as they like. Pick your interests from categories such as Arts, News, Technology and more, and get back to discovering the internet all over again. It's all automatic, already installed in your Opera browser for Android.

"Most people just see a fraction of what the web has to offer," says Rikard Gillemyr, EVP of Consumer Products at Opera Software. "We check out the same sites every day, and you can get through with the latest news after just a short bus ride. We wanted to give people a relaxed way of discovering interesting articles and checking them out without any extra effort."

Opera rewrite comes to Android

Norway's gift to the world of technology, the Opera browser, is now available for Android in an entirely new version.

This cut of Opera for Android has been in beta for a while and has apparently done sufficiently well to be pushed out of the door and into the cold, hard world that is Google Play.

There it will find itself in competition with Google's Chrome and Firefox as an alternative to the rather ornery browser baked into Android.

Opera's banking on a content aggregation feature called “Discover” to get you downloading, and also hopes the “Off-road” data compression tool appeals to those who often find themselves in bandwidth-challenged locations.

We'll hazard a guess that “Off-road” shares some code with the many versions of Opera the company sells to makers of feature phones. Those cuts of the code give Opera impressive, if declining, market share in the mobile browser market, as the StatCounter data below demonstrates.

The downward trend on that graph, and upwards direction for Android, shows Opera will doubtless be rather happy if its new progeny is pressed into service a lot.

Perhaps the new combined search and address bar, plus all sorts of cunning re-rendering routines to squish pages into mobes' screens, will help Opera to recapture its former glory.

I am facing a problem with this. It is getting uninstalled automatically. I even tried installing again. But it is getting uninstalled again. Even now. Does anyone have the same problem with new opera?

I don't have this problem. But this means your may not supported for the app. Try opera browser beta, that is same software but compatiable with all mobiles.
