Canon R10 vs Leica SL Overview
Below is a thorough comparison of the Canon R10 vs Leica SL, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Pro Mirrorless by rivals Canon and Leica. The sensor resolution of the R10 (24MP) and the SL (24MP) is fairly similar but the R10 (APS-C) and SL (Full frame) use totally different sensor sizes.

The R10 was manufactured 6 years later than the SL and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).
Before diving straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the R10 matches up versus the SL for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Canon R10 vs Leica SL Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it's tough to see the contrast between sensor measurements simply by reviewing specifications. The photograph below should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the R10 and SL.
To sum up, the 2 cameras posses the exact same megapixel count but not the same sensor measurements. The R10 provides the tinier sensor which will make getting shallow DOF trickier. The younger R10 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
