Often, its difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions simply by going over specifications. The picture here will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X-T10 and M1.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X-T10 using its bigger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the YI M1 will offer you greater detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-T10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
