Quite often, it can be difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizes simply by checking specifications. The pic here will give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the M10 and A7S II.

To sum up, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Leica M10 to give greater detail with its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more recent M10 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
