Despite offering four different refresh rates for various applications, occasional ghosting remains an issue, particularly in the default notes app. While this may not trouble many users, it can be distracting without a forced screen refresh.
Like most note-taking e-readers with stylus support, the Tab Mini C includes a magnetic attachment for the pen on one side. While the magnetic connection is robust, it may not be the most secure way to stow the pen. Alternatively, a magnetic flap on the optional sleep cover securely holds the stylus in place. However, the Tab Mini C carries a premium price tag, matching its premium build quality, and the addition of the sleep cover incurs an extra cost.
