Clearly, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S-1 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh tougher and the Samsung Galaxy NX will resolve extra detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures more aggressively. The more recent S-1 provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
