Save up on mobile data with Opera Mini 7

Posted by : Unknown Monday, January 21, 2013

My operator offers me an unlimited data plan, but once I hit the cap (in my case it is 300MB), the downloading and uploading speed goes very low and makes it quite impossible to browse heavy websites which don't have mobile versions.
When browsing the internet on my Samsung Galaxy Y, I always try to save up and stay away from reaching the 300MB cap so I do stuff such as disable image displaying on my stock browser to just download the text only, etc.

Thanks to Opera Mini 7 browser for Android, I now save up a lot of mobile data with it's unique compression technology. The developers claim that it saves up to 90%.

The app compresses the web data before it is delivered to your phone thus saving you mobile data.
To check the statistics for amount of data used and amount of data saved, you tap on the red "O" button on the bottom right corner, then go to "Help", then "Data Usage"

Overall, the Opera Mini is a very neat Android browser with neat features, very user-friendly UI and it loads websites very fast so not only do I recommend it because of the compression technology, but because it's a good browser for daily use.
