According to a release by opera mini, the mobile app, over the course of the year, has saved Africans more than halve a billion United States Dollar worth of data consumption.
They made the announcement on the official opera blog.
Below are excerpts of the post on the opera blog.
Africans have used 82% less mobile data from January to October 2015, compared to the original size before data compression with Opera Mini. Our users in Africa enjoy using Opera Mini because of the savings and everyday functionality it offers.
Some of the countries showing big-time savings on mobile data costs from Opera Mini are South Africa, with around $65 million (R 905 million) savings over the ten months, and Nigeria, with a whopping $198 million (N 39.5 billion).
Africa’s number-one mobile browser is compatible with 3,000 mobile phones, so, whether you’re on Android, Java, Windows Phone or iOS, its data-compression technology can help you keep data costs in check. This explains why Opera Mini is so popular in Africa, which has a healthy mix of people using a variety of phones and platforms.
Data savings look good across all platforms. Overall, Java-based phones saved an average of 88% in mobile data each month, while smartphone users saved about 76%. Android users enjoyed 75% savings and iOS users saw a 70% decrease in data consumption.
Opera Mini shrinks webpages down to as little as 10% of their original size, reducing data consumption by up to 90%. The data compression also helps render webpages faster, even while roaming, or in places with poor network conditions, making Opera Mini a great companion while on the go.
