New Google News for Opera Mini available in a dozen African countries

Posted on 04:34 by Unknown
En Français

While the Google News team has been hard at work redesigning our service for smartphones, we’ve also been thinking about our milllions of users around the world who access the web not from a smartphone, but from a feature phone, using Opera Mini as their browser.

So we have rolled out a redesigned Google News for Opera Mini in all 29 languages and 70 editions of Google News. In Sub-Saharan Africa, this includes Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. This includes an enhanced homepage featuring richer snippets, thumbnail images, links to videos and section content without explicit navigation, a convenient search bar, comfortably spaced links and the ability to access your desktop personalization on your phone.

We hope that this will improve the news browsing experience for Opera Mini users around the world, including millions of people using a feature phone as the primary point of access for the web. See it here in the Nigerian English version.


So, pick up your feature phone and point your Opera Mini browser to http://news.google.com to catch up on news anytime and anywhere. For more information or to share your feedback with us, please visit our Help Center.

Nouveau Google News pour Opera Mini disponible dans une dizaine de pays africains

Tandis que l’équipe Google News travaillait d’arrache-pied à remodeler notre service pour les
smartphones, nous avons également pensé aux millions d’utilisateurs à travers le monde qui
accèdent à Internet non via un smartphone, mais via un téléphone de base, avec le navigateur
Opera Mini.

Nous avons ainsi réalisé une version Google News pour Opera Mini en 29 langues et 70 éditions.
En Afrique sub-saharienne, les pays concernés sont le Botswana, l’Éthiopie, le Ghana, le Kenya,
la Namibie, le Nigéria, le Sénégal, l’Afrique du Sud, la Tanzanie, l’Ouganda et le Zimbabwe.
Cette nouvelle version offre une page d’accueil améliorée, avec des snippets plus riches, des
vignettes, des liens sur des vidéos et des contenus sans navigation explicite, une barre de
recherche très pratique, des liens bien espacés et la possibilité d’accès à la personnalisation de votre bureau sur votre téléphone.

Nous espérons que cette nouveauté va améliorer l’expérience de lecture des infos pour les
utilisateurs d’Opera Mini à travers le monde, y compris ceux qui se servent d’un téléphone
basique comme principale point d’accès à Internet. Vous pouvoir le tester ici en version anglais
nigérian.

Alors, prenez votre téléphone et pointez votre navigateur Opera Mini sur http://news.google.com
pour consulter les infos à tout moment et n’importe où. Pour en savoir plus et pour nous donner
vos impressions, rendez-vous sur notre Centre d'assistance.
