Usually, it's hard to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by checking out technical specs. The picture underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R7 and G6.
As you can tell, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The R7 because of its larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Canon R7 will produce more detail due to its extra 17 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger R7 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
