Opera Software has signed a pact with seven Indian mobile OEMs to preinstall the Opera Mini mobile web browser on all the manufacturers’ upcoming handsets, phablets and tablets based on the Android mobile OS. Opera Mini will be the exclusive third-party browser to be preinstalled on all Android devices by Celkon, Karbonn, Lava and Intex. Opera Mini will also be preinstalled on select Android devices by Fly and Zen, as well as on HCL ME tablets.
Well suited for Indian mobile networks, Opera Mini uses a server to pre-process and compress websites to as little as 10% of their original size before sending them to the mobile device. Therefore, Opera Mini users get cost effective browsing experience than other mobile browser users.
"The number of Indians accessing the web from mobile devices is growing at a much faster rate than those using a computer. This unique environment has made it essential for handset manufacturers to ensure their upcoming mobile devices are web enabled and are ready to deliver the best browsing experience," said Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software.
Opera Mini's features such as Smart Page, Speed Dial, tabbed browsing, password manager, download manager and Opera Link are sure to make the browsing experience on Android devices faster, cheaper and smarter.
