Last year, Opera started its journey to bring the Opera Mini mobile browser to the Windows Phone platform. The quest was a difficult one because rebuilding Opera Mini for an entirely different platform is not an easy task.

Several months after Opera released Opera Mini in beta version for Windows Phone, the app received an important update that changed the UI of the browser completely, making it look more modern and fresh. And today, we have the pleasure of announcing you that the stable version of Opera Mini is now available.

The Opera Mini team has been getting consistent feedback from beta testers these past few months and it has taken into account most of their demands. Therefore, the app now sports a truly native look and feel. Moreover it also delivers a daily, weekly or monthly view of your data savings.
Opera has listened to your pleas

Users also wanted downloading to be made easier. So Opera Mini now bundles a device manager that can control what, when and where downloads are going.

There’s also a better way to access all your favorite websites, and Windows Phone users will now be able to save and preview their favorite websites with Speed Dial and bookmarks.

The Opera Mini development team didn’t stop here, though, as it is also allowing you to check browser data save. More than that, the browser enables you to save pages for later offline reading and a Speed Dial function for accessing your favorite website quickly is offered as well.

You can expect the application to receive several updates in the upcoming future, as the development team keeps improving it so that Windows Phone users can have the best mobile browsing experience possible.
Microsoft's own browser is coming too

While Opera Mini might seem to be a pretty good choice right now, since Chrome and Firefox aren’t yet available on Windows Phone, there’s another browsing app on the way, one that will be coming out of Microsoft itself.

Microsoft Edge is the new browser that will be included in Windows 10 and the Redmond giant will release it alongside Internet Explorer in the new operating system in a little bit more than one month.

The Edge browser is already up for testing in the existing Windows 10 builds, but under a different name, as the company previously called the browser Project Spartan.
