Opera still has missed Material Design with this app but they have neither made it look too old by adapting minimalism in their approach. Also Data Saver Feature is updated to save even more data for you if you have a limited data plan, it works the same way as we discussed earlier with Data Saver for Chrome, compressing the data packets with its own servers and then sending it to incur data savings and all this- Almost Instantly.
App feels more fluid and the always loads pages considerably faster than heavy browsers even when on low-speed 2G network and this is the thing that has been working for Opera since the beginning- When we used internet through Nokia & Samsung java enabled phones.
