However, Opera has a larger market on mobile devices such as cellphones, smartphones, and personal digital assistants. Various editions of Opera can be used for devices using Maemo, BlackBerry, Symbian, Windows Mobile, Android, and iPhone operating systems, as well as Java ME. Around 120 million cellphones have been marketed with the Opera browser they have.

Opera has a Speed Dial feature that is a feature that users can use to add up to 25 links (or more, by installing the speeddial.ini file) that are added as thumbnails on pages that support the newly opened tab. Thumbnails are linked to pages that are automatically created and made to introduce visuals on the speed dial page or can be changed using Opera Image Dial Generator. After setting up, this feature makes it easy for users to navigate to the selected web page that allows users to add the number of pages without the requested limit in the form of thumbnails, pages that require compilation of newly opened tabs, blocking pop-ups, recently reopened pages, private search guides, and tab searches. Opera organizes bookmarks and manages downloads. Opera presents default tab browsing, ad blocking, approval, download managers, BitTorrent clients, search bars, and web feed aggregators. Opera also comes with an e-mail client called Opera Mail and an IRC chat client built in.
