Sometimes, it's difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizes purely by looking at a spec sheet. The image underneath will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-A3 and NEX-3N.

As you can see, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Fujifilm X-A3 to resolve greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots much more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm X-A3 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
