Opera for Android, Full and Final!

[Paul.R]

After months of hard work, the brand new Opera for Android is here. With a totally new UI - re-built from scratch - there are tons of new and updated features to discover. If you can't wait, simply head on over to Google Play or m.opera.com with your phone!

TABS. BETTER THAN EVER.
From a thumbnail view of tabs to private browsing, Tabs on Android is made for the way you surf the mobile web. It's also even easier to mark tabs as favorites, right in the address field.

SPEED DIAL. REINVENTED.
A common request has been the ability to organize your Speed Dials. In this version we introduce folders in your Speed Dial. Simply drag and drop to create a new folder.

DISCOVER. STAY ONE STEP AHEAD.
Get news, the latest cool content and other suggestions tailor-made for you with the Discover feature.

OFF-ROAD MODE. ALL-CONDITIONS BROWSING.
Enabling Off-Road mode provides you with the great speed and functionality from Opera Mini. Compressing web pages so you can stay online even when your connection slows down or you're outside your regular network . Off-Road Mode effectively saves you money by reducing your data consumption.

DOWNLOAD MANAGER. MADE BETTER.
With the ability to start, pause, resume and rename files, you can download and keep the movies, music and other media files you want at your convenience.

AUTOMATIC TEXT WRAP
During our beta it seems text wrapping was a favorite feature in Opera. With all the amazing feedback we worked long hours to get this ready for launch.

CUSTOMIZABLE ADDRESS BAR
So many devices. So many different versions of Android. To give you the best possible experience regardless of your phone or the size of your hands - we let you have the navigation either on top or at the bottom of the screen. Try it out in the settings!

AND THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING.
Opera for Android supports Gingerbread and up with tablet support soon to follow. We would like to thank everyone who helped us test the beta. Text-wrapping, fullscreen mode and other great features are there thanks to your feedback - we could not have done this without you!

Tips

1. The Off Road feature is excellent for saving bandwidth and speeding up the browsing. Access it with a click on the Opera icon at the top and a swipe to On underneath Off-Road mode. Note that while it will work fine on most websites, that some sites may not be compatible with the feature. This is for instance the case with Soundcloud.

2.You can change the image quality when you are using Off Road mode in the settings. It is set to medium quality by default. You can set it to high or low quality, or turn images off completely when you are in that mode.

3.The browsing history, cookies and data can be cleared in the settings as well. Note that there does not seem to be an option to schedule this as a recurring operation.

4.If you are using Opera on the desktop, you may be interesting in configuring Opera Link on both systems to synchronize data such as bookmarks between all devices.
