Oftentimes, it's hard to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Q-P and Galaxy NX.

As you can see, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Q-P using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Leica Q-P will deliver more detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger Q-P provides a benefit in sensor technology.
