Normally, it's hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing only by going over specifications. The graphic here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the M10 and NX210.

Plainly, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Samsung NX210 to deliver more detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern M10 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
