Well, with the 'Phone' layout selected in 'Setting' it give you the maximum viewing area, plus when you scroll down a page (swipe up) the top tool bar scrolls up the page too, thus giving you a full-screen viewing area for web content.

Well, what UI elements are visible on-screen when using the 'Phone' layout ?. I don't see any, apart from the tool bar just after the page loads and just before scrolling the page. Looks like full-screen to me, even though it doesn't have a labelled menu/settings item/option labelled as such.

I never saw an app that could hide the notification bar.

Are you sure? My Opera Mini for Android does not hide the notifications tab.

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.
