NTAG213 vs. NTAG215
These two chips, the NTAG213 and the NTAG215 are from the same NTAG family of chips. They are both manufactured by NXP.
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.
The NTAG215 chip was launched in 2013 alongside the NTAG213, NTAG212, NTAG210 and NTAG216. It's a full featured chip with a medium size memory capacity. It isn't as common as the NTAG213 chip and is only available in a limited number of products unless made to order.
Both these chips have a strong ScanStrength and will work very well with mobile phones.
