Sometimes, it is hard to picture the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through technical specs. The visual below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZS10 and NX500.

As you have seen, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The EX-ZS10 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Samsung NX500 will render greater detail because of its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The older EX-ZS10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
