One of the reasons why Opera Mini Browser stands out when compared to all the other mobile browsers available on the web is the constant stream of updates that it benefits from. The developers who are in charge of Opera Mini Browser are always looking for new ways to take its performances to the next level and they are doing this by introducing software tweaks, bug fixes, and new features.
Opera Mini Browser for Android is making headlines on our website today because it has just received a new update. The update is available to download via OTA (over the air) channels and in the form of APK (Android Package Kit). Without any further ado, let’s go ahead and check out everything there is to know about the update’s improvements.
Opera Mini Browser 52.2.2254.54574 Beta Update
The first thing that we want to mention about the mobile browser’s latest update is that it sports the 52.2.2254.54574 version number and that it is currently available to download for beta users. Therefore, we are advising all Opera Mini Browser fans to consider joining the beta program so that they can make sure they are always among the first ones to access all the latest updates.
Alternatively, the update can be manually downloaded and installed in the form of APK through sideloading. However, this is only possible on Android-powered smartphones that have enabled the “Unknown Sources” option in their smartphone’s Settings panel.
What’s New?
According to the patch notes released by Opera Browser Mini’s developers, the new update aims to improve the overall performances that the mobile browser provides. The way that the new update is doing that is by introducing a handful of stability and performance fixes. As a result, Opera Browser Mini will run at much faster speeds than usual.
