Typically, it's difficult to imagine the difference in sensor sizes only by going through specifications. The pic underneath may offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M11 and Q10.

Plainly, the two cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The M11 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Leica M11 will show more detail due to its extra 48 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more recent M11 provides an edge in sensor technology.
