Generally, it is very difficult to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions simply by going over a spec sheet. The image underneath will help give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-A10 and E-M10 IV.

As you can see, the two cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-A10 due to its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Olympus E-M10 IV will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-A10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
