Generally, it's difficult to see the gap in sensor sizing merely by researching specifications. The photograph underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the R6 and NX5.

To sum up, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The R6 using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon R6 will result in extra detail having an extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs more aggressively. The newer R6 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
