Monkevičius continued, saying: “My favorite new feature of Opera Mini 4.1 is the ability to save websites for later reading, it really helps me at school. I can just save my Wikipedia pages and access them whenever I need to. My history grades improved drastically, thanks to Opera Mini.” We tried Opera Mini 4.1 on a Nokia N95, and browsing around a variety of sites, found that the experience did indeed seem like a snappier, faster version of Opera Mini 4.0. In the default installation, the graphics quality of images is set to ‘low’, so we changed that in the menu settings to ‘high’, while also trying different sites with both a ‘mobile’ and ‘desktop’ browser setting, with the page rendering differently depending on the selection we’d chosen. Now, it must be said that the web browser that comes as standard on the Nokia N95 is already light years better than browsers on many other brands of phone, but either way, Opera Mini 4.1 still works nice and fast, and offers an offline browsing feature which could well come in handy in the future. Opera does advise that “not all features may work on all phones or in all regions. Please contact your mobile operator to check availability of all features on your handset.” In that vein, we tried the ‘unsigned’ version Opera Mini 4.1 browser on an i-mate Ultimate 9502, and found that it got three quarters of the way through the installation process and then refused to go any further.
