Opera Software has released a report stating that Opera Mini mobile browsers used 75% less mobile data in the first half of the year and claims to have saved Rs. 350 million monthly in mobile Internet bills. The report claimed that the Opera Mini users nationwide have saved Rs 2.1 billion in total in the first six months of 2014.
Opera Mini users on Java-based phones saved an average of 81% in mobile data each month, while smartphone users saved about 69%, the report said. Among smartphone users, those on Android phones clocked an average of 68.5% savings per month, while iOS users saved about 62%.
The report is based on aggregated information obtained from the Opera Mini servers.
Opera Mini is compatible with over 3000 mobile devices, ranging from basic Java phones to the latest Android and iOS smartphones.
“These substantial savings were achieved with the help of Opera Mini’s advanced compression technology, which shrinks webpages down to as little as 10% of their original size, reducing data consumption by up to 90%,” the report added.
