Opera 15 for Android

July 8th, 2013

Now that's snappy! Only a few weeks after the release of the all-new Opera 14 for Android comes its swift-footed successor, Opera 15.

Running on Chromium 28, the latest version of Opera for Android is faster and more nimble than ever before. Sprint around the web on your mobile phone without ever breaking a sweat.

New and improved

What's better in Opera 15? The list is a long one! Here are our 'editor's picks' from the changelog:

Improved startup-time
Improved tab-UI animations
New "open in private tab" context menu
Improvements and bugfixes to fullscreen web pages
Updated translations
Opening files from external SD card now possible
Improved wingsuit capabilities
Discover improvements
Smaller .apk file
Cookie clearing mechanism improved

Control your downloads

In addition to all the improvements listed above, we've also upgraded the download manager. Now you can download video files that can be played in Opera, either by pressing the download button over the video, or long-clicking for download. Also, you can now set the location where you want the files to download on your phone. The download section even has a shiny new look!

Faster and better

This version of Opera also includes lots of other tweaks and fixes. From black screens to grey thumbnails, spontaneous uninstalls to disappearing Speed Dials, we've listened to your comments and concerns and worked hard to correct the peskiest problems you were experiencing in the last release. Our goal is for you to get more out of your Android device (with less data) when you use Opera.
