When mobile users take to smartphones

The Nepali mobile internet market is increasing rapidly, and not only on basic phones, show numbers from Opera’s latest State of the Mobile Web report.

While the number of users in Nepal of the Opera Mini mobile web browser has doubled from 2012 to 2013, another interesting trend is observed.

There is a shift from basic phones to smartphones in Nepal, and it is happening quickly. The number of Opera Mini users on Android has also doubled from last year and the trend curve is pointing upwards.
