Usually, its difficult to picture the contrast in sensor measurements purely by looking through specifications. The graphic here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the S200 and NX200.

To sum up, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S200 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Samsung NX200 will render extra detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The more recent S200 should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
