Difference between XM1 and XNT

Both chips are 13.56MHz and ISO14443A compliant, but they have dramatically different memory structures and features. The xNT is based on the NTAG216 chip which is also NFC Type 2 compliant, and the xM1+ is based on a Chinese clone of a Mifare Classic 1k chip, which is not NFC compliant.

Many legacy systems still use the Mifare Classic, so the xM1+ might be useful for people who want to clone their Mifare Classic 1K cards to an implant. If you do not have a specific need for the xM1+ I would not bother.
