hello again ladies and gentlemen I'm Joe handy the Android authority app guy Netflix has just been released to countries all over the world and we're going to take a look at how you can save yourself some data using opera max for those who may not know Opera Max is an application that tries to save you data it does this by running your web traffic through opera servers where it is compressed and then sent to your device you keep doing whatever it is you want to do when opera max helps you consume less data while doing it it should be noted that opera max works for both Wi-Fi and mobile data connections although in this video we only used Wi-Fi on top of that you can actually turn applications on or off within the service so maybe you want Google Chrome to use regular data and only want the savings on Netflix that is definitely possible it's very simple to use you just open up the application it turn it on tinker with the settings until they're where you want them to be and then go about your merry way with Netflix releasing all over the world there will be a lot of people coming into contact with the service and its immense data requirements for the first time using it on your mobile can consume a lot of data very quickly and a lot of people around the world have only limited amounts of data to use each month that sucks because Netflix has so much awesome stuff and you can pour a lot of your data into it very quickly ok so initially I was going to VPN into various countries and then test opera max however I had forgotten that opera max is a VPN service itself and Android can really only handle one VPN service at a time instead I decided to enable opera max and just start watching some stuff on Netflix my theory is that since it's all going through the same opera servers that the data savings should be approximately the same everywhere no matter where you use it I watched a little red versus blue Jessica Jones and some orange is the new black altogether I watched about 30 minutes of video they all took a moment to load but once they got started the performance was smooth and the quality of the video seemed to be pretty good I didn't get any stuttering or buffering and the experience was very pleasant once the test was over I went back to opera max to observe how much data the service had saved me according to opera max I would have used about a hundred megabytes of total data and opera max managed to condense that into a scant 46 megabytes with a savings of about fifty four megabytes or about 54% this is actually very impressive and honestly was more than I was expecting given that the application claims that they can save up to 45 percent of data using the Netflix app if you decide to try this out for yourself you should expect your numbers to be a little bit different than mine but it should still fall between that 40% and 60% savings range if you want to try opera max for yourself you can find it in the google play store and we have a link in the video description below for quick access as you just saw you can save quite a bit of data this way on Netflix as well as other applications and it really does help extend your data limits and that about does it for this video folks don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel if you haven't done so already and don't forget to check out the awesome videos we have linked up right there on the screen if you want to learn more about opera max we did a review of the service back when it first launched and we'll have that linked up in the video description below as always thanks for watching everybody and have a wonderful day
