Generally, it is difficult to visualise the difference between sensor measurements merely by going over specs. The photograph below will provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the T6 and K-S2.

All in all, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Pentax K-S2 to deliver greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more recent T6 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
