Often, it can be hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizes merely by seeing a spec sheet. The pic underneath should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the X-S20 and K-01.
Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Fujifilm X-S20 to provide more detail having its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The fresher X-S20 should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
