      Older Presto versions of Opera Mobile go completely full screen and do hide the notification bar.

      On Android? I know it is/was possible on other OSs.

          There is any setting to active it? I have Opera Classic on my Android and it shows the notification bar.

            Yes, in settings, turn off 'Status bar'. But you can still view/access the status/notification bar by doing a quick swipe down from the top of the screen.

                            Please add option to hide status bar.
                            Kitkat added new fullscreen mode - immersive, which is good to try out too.

                                Hi linuxmint7

                                I am with Opera Mini 7.5.35613 on an android 4.2 galaxy mega. I can hide the status bar but not the opera-mini menu-bar/address bar ( https://forums.opera.com/topic/261/is-full-screen-opera-mini-on-android-4-2-possible ). Could you explain how you could hide the opera-mini menu-bar/address bar please ? 🙂

                                Thanks !

                                  ( in the past I kind of recall that I could hide the opera mini menu-bar when scrolling down a tall page)

                                    @pierro78, Go to 'O Menu / Settings /' and disable (turn off) 'Status bar' and 'Navigation bar'.
