Opera Software announced today that Opera Mini 5 is coming to Google Android.

“Android users should not have to compromise when it comes to surfing the Web on their phones. Opera Mini will give Android users a fast and cost-efficient access to their favorite Web sites and services,” said Dag Olav Norem, Vice President of Products, Opera Software.

It promises a desktop-like Web browsing experience on your mobile phone, with favorite features such as Speed Dial, tabbed browsing, a password manager and bookmarks. Another benefit is its ability to compress data by up to 90 percent before sending it to the phone, thereby improving page loading performance and speed.

Opera Mini 5 is currently available in beta. It can be downloaded directly using your Android phone by visiting m.opera.com/next or by searching for it in the Android Market.
