Opera Mini 5 and Opera Mobile 10 graduated,Know the differences

World’s leading and my favourite Mobile Web browser Opera graduated yesterday !. Opera mini 5 is a very effective web browser runs on most of the Java enabled mobile phones including Symbian based ones. I am using opera mini 5 for all of my web navigation purpose in my Nokia N97. They were keeping Opera Mini 5 and Opera Mobile 10 in the beta stage for long time ,finally they have released matured version. Opera Mini 5 leads the web pages very fast and saves a lot from your data costs. Opera Mini 5 have quick dial ,tabbed browsing ,touch and non touch phone support. Go to http://m.opera.com/nextfrom your phones original mobile broswer to download the Opera mini 5 or Opera Mobile 10 Web browser fro free. So why you all need opera Mobile 10 ?

Opera mobile 10 gives you full web experience (Most of the  script support ) but takes more data and more memory. Opera mobile directly gets the web pages from the respective servers but opera mobile gets teh web pages via opera servers where the pages fir made light weight. If you have an  unlimited data plan with ver powerful smart phone you can go for this.

Differences between Opera Mobile and Opera Mini -Official Facts

In Opera Mini, the Opera Presto browser engine

is located on a server. In Opera Mobile, it is installed on your phone.

When you enter a Web address in Opera Mobile, the Web page is fetched directly from the Web server to your phone. However, the Opera Mini client sends a request to the Opera Mini server, which downloads the page from the Internet. The server then transcodes the page before it is forwarded to the client in a lightweight mark-up language designed specifically for this purpose.

The advantage is that the Opera Mini client can be much smaller and work on more basic phones than the full Opera Mobile browser.

On the other hand, Opera Mini depends on a server while Opera Mobile does not. (Opera Turbo is an optional service for Opera Mobile that compresses Web pages and makes it cheaper to browse, but it is not required).

In practical terms, here is what that means for you:

Opera Mobile will render Web pages just like a desktop browser. In Opera Mini, there may be slight differences, and very complex Web pages may not work optimally.

Opera Mini will generally be faster. It downloads less content and requires less CPU to render pages.Opera Mini works on almost any phone. Opera Mobile is only available for Windows Mobile and Symbian/S60 phones.
