The Q-P was introduced 5 years after the NX300M which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Leica Q-P being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Samsung NX300M being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the Q-P scores vs the NX300M with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Often, its hard to envision the gap in sensor dimensions only by researching technical specs. The pic below should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Q-P and NX300M.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Q-P using its larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Leica Q-P will provide you with more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images way more aggressively. The fresher Q-P is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
