NTAG210µ vs. NTAG213

These two chips, the NTAG210µ and the NTAG213 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 NTAG213 is part of the NTAG21x series of chips and along with the NTAG210, is the most common. It's a full featured tag with enough memory for almost all standard use cases. Widely available, it's found in a very broad range of tags and products.

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