On Monday, at this year’s Mobile World Congress, Opera announced the release of the final flavor of its Opera Mobile 12 browser for Android and Symbian devices.

As you can see in the video embedded above, we had the chance to have a look at the browser in Barcelona, where Opera showcased it on Android 4.0-based devices.

The main enhancements in this browser release include Ragnarök, Opera's HTML5 parser support, along with WebGL, meant to enable 3D renderings, in addition to a better web experience.

Through these enhancements, it will be easy for users to play demanding games straight within the browser, the company explains.

Moreover, they facilitate the development of cross-platform games that will take advantage of GPU-accelerated WebGL on Android.
