NTAG210µ vs. NTAG210

These two chips, the NTAG210µ and the NTAG210 are from the same NTAG family of chips. They are both manufactured by NXP.

The NTAG210µ or NTAG210 micro was released by NXP to create the cheapest possible price point for an NFC chip. Having a small memory capacity and minimal features, it's designed primarily for short ID's, short web links or just for a UID.

However, despite it's limited memory and features, it still packs the same great ScanStrength performance of the rest of the NTAG range. Seritag regularly stock large tag quantities with the NTAG210µ chip as it's a great cost-effective way to add NFC to packaging and products.

The NTAG210 chip was launched in 2013 alongside the NTAG213, NTAG212, NTAG215 and NTAG216. The NTAG210 has a limited amount of memory at 40 bytes and while it has some more features than the original NTAG203 chip, it's not as full featured as the NTAG213, NTAG215 or NTAG216. It's more expensive than the simple NTAG210µ, but very few users would ever require the features such as the password protection. If you want a cheap, high ScanStrength chip, Seritag recommend the NTAG210µ rather than this NTAG210.

Both these chips have a strong ScanStrength and will work very well with mobile phones.
