Opera Mobile 10.1 beta for Android emerges, much the same as Opera Mini

Filed under: Browsers, Android

Late last night Opera released version 10.1 of its browser for Android. It's a beta build, and don't be fooled by the version number: it's obviously meant to show that this is the desktop browser, but ported to your phone -- just like Firefox 4 Mobile.

If you've used Opera Mini, the light-weight, designed-for-dumbphones browser, Opera Mobile will feel very familiar to you.
Mobile keeps the ability to 'remotely render' websites, both reducing bandwidth use and speeding up site loads -- but you can now turn that off and have every site rendered locally with the excellent Presto layout engine.

Amongst other changes, Opera Mobile brings SVG support to Android, a rather lovely tab management pane and support for Opera's sync tool, Link. A full feature list can be found on the Opera website.

You can grab a copy of Opera 10.1 for Android from the Market, or grab the APK directly. The QR code is on the right.
