Wanting to cut costs and make the company leaner, Microsoft decided to outsource Opera Mini for Nokia's feature phones instead of maintaining its own browser.

The data compression by opera mini helps a lot, because of it most web displayed correctly/full instead of choppy web using built in/other browser (in area where data connection worse).
This may not a problem in country with better internet access, but it helps in the one who don't...
but that was in past now the connection is better, I was kinda hoping opera could step up the game..

In terms of functionality, no one has been able to compete with opera in the feature phone area. While opera mini has 0 privacy as the reason why it runs so well is because it is using opera servers to offload a bunch of the processing load, and formats pages really well to fit those really tiny screens.
Microsoft probably tried and failed to come up with anything better. (the reason why some of the better feature phones only need to be charged 1-2 times per week is because they are designed for low power. Call quality is the main focus, with other random features being extras based on what the SOC supports.

Wow someone is really smart at Microsoft. First they decide Internet Explorer probably is not the best browser. Second they decide that Opera is the best browser. That really deserve an award.-
