Beta version is the software under devolopment.It may have unknown bugs and compatibility issues but it might pack with new features which are being tested by the company.App may also crash at times.
Meanwhile,Other full version may be more stable,have less issues or bugs and is also a complete product. :)
So,if you are willing to take risks and want to try new features go for beta version.But if u want a complete product,then go for ordinary version.I always suggest to go with full version rather than beta version. :) :)
Im also using opera mini 11.0.1912.96480 and i really enjoy using it.Its really fast in slow 2G networks. :tup
 
There is some good news for Indian mobile
users this Republic Day. Opera Mini, the
popular mobile browser, has announced its
first update with support for 90 global
languages including 13 from India.
The 13
Indian languages include Assamese, Bengali,
Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Malayalam,
Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and
Urdu.

This means the browser support will extend
beyond languages that are natively supported
by Android, as was the case till now. Users will
be prompted to select a language the first time
they use the updated version of the browser.
“We are continuing our efforts to bring the
internet to as many people as possible, not
only by making it possible to access the
internet on low-bandwidth networks with our
compression technology, but also by making
sure that our browser is easy for anyone to
use and understand. The improved language
support is an important part of our efforts,”
said Christian Uribe, Product Manager for
Opera Mini, in a release.
Another significant improvement in the
browser will be inclusion of a QR-code reader
and generator
. Uribe says Opera understands
that typing long URLs can be challenging and
frustrating.
There is also a new download manager. “We’ve
done a lot of research on how to improve
downloads in the browser, as we know it’s
something many users care a lot about. We’ve
made loads of improvements and tweaks lately
to improve the stability and speed of
downloads,” adds Uribe.

Opera has updated its Opera Mini app for Android to version 15 that brings a new video boost feature that offers smoother video viewing using Opera’s video boost technology that reduces the size of video data, to lessen video loading time and combat buffering delays and also extend save data. The update also adds option to save files to the SD card in compatible phones, “Wi-Fi data savings” in the high data-savings settings for users on poor Wi-Fi connection and more.
To enable the video boost, under the “O” menu, tap the savings summary to change to high-savings mode. Below, tick the box beside video boost to switch on smoother viewing. The video boost feature also shows a count where users can keep track of how many videos have been optimized.
New features in Opera Mini 15 for Android
Added “Save to SD card” for phones on Android 4.4.4 or higher.
Access your SD-card files when uploading on the web.
Included the “video boost” option to compress video.
Updated high data-savings mode so it can save data on Wi-Fi.
Improved fast scrolling, triggering a handle you can drag.
Added an option to shrink photos before uploading, with three different sizes.
Introduced automatic status bar color changes, to match the environment (for Lollipop and Marshmallow devices).
Download Opera Mini for Android from Google Play, if you don’t have it yet.
Regarding the new video boost feature, Sunil Kamath, Vice President – South Asia & South East Asia at Opera, said:
In India alone, 70% of smartphone users stream video on their phones. Unfortunately, this eats up data plans quickly, and stalled videos waste time and create frustration. Opera Mini for Android comes to the rescue with video boost. It works to make the video sizes smaller serving up slimmer mobile videos and keeping data plans in check. If you love to watch videos on your Android device, but hate getting surprises on your data bill, it’s time to switch browsers.
