The NTAG213 chip has the least memory capacity at only 144 bytes. It stores only a few records. This is suitable for single record only card such as Google review.

Android phones natively read more types of data and displays all of them after interacting with an NFC tags. iPhone only reads the first record. Model 8 and earlier require an app to read NFC cards.
