Both are the same size and form factor
Both operate independently, but for configuring there are a couple of Apps, one being * Android Application
Communication via the app is done via Bluetooth (Pro) or Tethered via the included Type C to Type C cable.
They both now come with a leather holder with a built-in T5577 Chip

PRODUCT COMPARISON
There are several ChameleonMini devices available. The table below breaks down the differences in detail.
If your are a penetration tester / researcher, or require wireless functionality, Lab401 recommends the ChameleonMini RevG by Proxgrind or the ChameleonTiny Pro.
If you are looking to store all your tags in one device, or size is the most important factor for you, Lab401 recommends the ChameleonTiny.
Android App Showcase
What makes this interesting for “US”
CAN THE CHAMELEONTINY WRITE CARDS?
No. Although the hardware is capable, the current firmware of the Chameleon Tiny is designed to emulate cards, not act as a writing device.
Cool, clever simple bit of kit.
I carry mine in my bag with a Keysy ( HF - LF Bases Covered ) For Cards / Fobs, not implants…yet!
PROs
• Small/ very portable
• Robust ( The leather cover will also help to protect the resin )
• Low power draw
• 8 “card” slots
• Simple App interface
• Very capable
CONs
• Cannot write
• BLE protocol undocumented
PRICE
$60
$80 ( BLE )
$1.50 - $5 (Leather T5577 case)
Summary:
Loses one star due to being capable of writing, but not currently supported ( Maybe “hackable” * ChameleonMini/Tiny GitHub code )
