Opera Software has officially launched Opera Max which it said offers users data savings and faster Wi-Fi experience. The app allows users to control their mobile data and Wi-Fi data independently.
The new Opera Max compresses all data sent through Android smartphones with world leading image and video compression technology, so users can get the most from their data plans.
Opera Max was originally launched in Africa with Samsung and the company said the app has seen huge popularity, with Nigeria being home to the most Opera Max users globally to date. The app is now launching in 135 countries around the world and is available free for all Android users via Google Play.
“The new launch of the product sees Wi-Fi management included. Users experiencing Wi-Fi network congestion will enjoy a faster connection experience with this new compression feature, as they can see how apps are using their data and track how their apps behave on Wi-Fi,” Opera Software said in a statement.
