It is true, for being sure that Opera Mini is not the most popular mobile browser of the world, yet after the release of Opera Mobile 4 just a year back, Opera is set to launch Opera Mini 5 for Android in public beta.

The swing from version 4 to 5 is enhanced with quite big features as boasted by opera for carrying away mobile browsing experience to new levels and as much as closer to desktop experience. The best modification in fifth version is about tabbed browsing that is still other smartphone browsers have to think upon. Some of the newest browser features are as following.

•Speed Dialing: It provides one-touch access to any 9 of your favorite sites.

•Password Manager

•Opera Link: Syncs your bookmarks at midst your handset and desktop.

The ASP of Opera Mini’s 5 is a data compression proxy before sending out data to the handset. It can work smoothly despite 3G being slower at times and good at saving money. However, it does not support multi touch that can be a great innovation and feature of opera.
