Opera's Android Browser Updates to Show Your Data Usage and Bandwidth Savings [Video]

Android: If you're on a metered mobile plan or one that charges you once you're over a certain data usage limit, you'll want to optimize your bandwidth. Opera for Android's page compression feature and new data usage tracking can help.

Opera compresses pages you request on its servers before sending them to your phone, reducing the amount of kilobytes you would otherwise access. The new Opera Android browser has a data usage feature under the Help section to show you exactly how much data savings (Opera says it's as much as 80%) using Opera gets you.

The mobile browser can also help you keep track of how much data you're using overall.
