More often than not, it is hard to visualise the difference in sensor measurements merely by viewing specifications. The graphic underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the R7 and K-01.

Plainly, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Canon R7 to provide you with more detail having an extra 17 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The fresher R7 will have an advantage in sensor tech.
