Opera Mini is great and all — It’s been downloaded hundreds of millions of times — but let’s face it, it has “Mini” in it’s name. For basic phones, it is far and wide better than the built in browser. But smartphones are a different beast. They have much beefier specs, and as such, can handle quite a bit more 1′s and 0′s.
