Lawrence Eng - Opera Mini vs. Opera Mobile Browser - 0 views

In Opera Mini, the Opera Presto browser engine is located on a server. In Opera Mobile, it is installed on your phone.

Opera Mobile will render Web pages just like a desktop browser. In Opera Mini, there may be slight differences, and very complex Web pages may not work optimally. Opera Mini will generally be faster. It downloads less content and requires less CPU to render pages.

Even though all content is passed through Opera's servers, it is completely encrypted (http://www.opera.com/mobile/help/faq/#security). It's very comparable to BlackBerry's Internet Services, where all your content is passed through RIM's own encrypted servers to optimize the size of the content, one of the reasons BlackBerries use less bandwidth when browsing and receiving emails than other smartphones.
