Data Savings Built Right In

Opera Mini isn’t just about free data; it’s also designed to help you save data every time you go online. Thanks to its unique data-saving technology, Opera Mini compresses web pages, videos, and images, so you use up to 90% less data compared to other browsers. In fact, Opera Mini has already helped users save over ₦5 billion in data costs and saved 1500TB of data monthly with its data saving capabilities—proof that it’s a game-changer for affordable browsing.

Opera has always thought of internet and information access as a basic human right. With Opera Mini, you get the best deal and save money on data consumption – with free data to keep you connected and smart data-saving functionality  to stretch your data further.

Opera – the company behind the popular mobile browser, Opera Mini – announces a significant landmark in Nigeria: In 2023, Mini users have benefited from over 3,760 TB of free data, which equates to nearly 5 billion Naira in cost savings.* Moreover, Opera Mini simultaneously extends the lifespan of the user’s data  with unique data saving technology, allowing the bundle to last up to 10 times longer. This is a testament to Opera Mini’s role in bridging the digital divide and making the internet accessible and affordable for millions.

In Nigeria, around 60% of the population lives under the poverty line, some with a monthly salary as low as 90,000 NGN – in which case, a monthly data package of 20GB would consume 12% of their income.

“Opera’s journey in Nigeria is a clear reflection of our vision: to break down barriers and make the web accessible to everyone,” said Jørgen Arnesen, EVP Mobile at Opera. “The nearly 5 billion Naira saved represents more than just economic value – it symbolizes tens of millions of Nigerians being able to invest in themselves and their personal development.”

Bridging the Digital Divide with Unprecedented Savings

For years, Opera Mini has served as the first portal to the web for many, recently celebrating a milestone of 1 billion downloads across the world. Nevertheless, the internet penetration rate stands at 55% in Nigeria, demonstrating that a significant digital divide still exists. By implementing its Africa First strategy – in which the company has pledged to invest over $100M dollars to support digitization across the continent – Opera continues to work to bridge the gap and enhance connectivity.

Opera Mini has been a key aspect of the company’s efforts. A lightweight mobile browser designed with local needs in mind through its unique data compression technology, reduces data usage by up to 90%, so 1.5GB can last up to 10 times longer on Opera Mini than when using other browsers. Opera has furthermore partnered with telco giants such as Airtel and MTN to offer free data campaigns, in which Opera Mini users can benefit from up to 1.5GB of free data every month. Over 3.5 million users have participated in the popular free data campaigns, bolstering digital inclusion across Africa.
