Usually, its tough to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions just by seeing specifications. The picture here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Q-P and A58.

To sum up, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Q-P due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Leica Q-P will produce extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more modern Q-P provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
