Anyone have an APK for the New Opera 15 android browser?

[WackyClash]

It's "incompatible" with my device. But it actually isn't and I know it will work. If someone could provide an APK for the Opera 15 android browser, now using chromium 28, I would really appreciate it! If I am in the wrong place or I am violating rules or etiquette for these forums, please tell me and i'll remove the post accordingly.

It's the beta of the next version of Opera Mobile (or maybe it's out of beta now, not sure). Don't know about Android but for desktops they made major changes, using the engine from Chrome. Opera 15 and the newest Chrome can use each other's extensions.

Gotta credit Opera for making the APK available for direct download from their own site. Is Opera Mini also getting a major rewrite? Unfortunately they don't have it on their site for direct download like Mobile.

thanks. Ill check it out. I was a big opera mini and mobile user for years, from java to symbian to android so i have a place in my heart for opera
since getting a fast phone and decent data speeds i havent used mini or mobile.
If this new one is based on chrome, does it support flash?

Actually, that just redirects to Play. If his device is showing as not compatible, the install from there won't work.

I PM'd him another link earlier where the .APK could be downloaded directly.

Click "Don't have Google Play? Download the app here." below the big button that redirects to Play. It will take you to:

Something I found with Opera 15, it doesn't attempt to localise itself to the country.

There's Amazon USA, BBC, YouTube. Google+

...compare with the default Opera Mini home screen that I get...

BTW I think Opera does quite well with their App Store now, especially in China.

I did actually try the Opera Mini on my phone in the UK, when I was there a few weeks ago. It seemed to be rather slow, and when I done a location with mybrowserinfo.com and SpeedTest I was getting....
