Apple Innovates by Creating Next-Level Optical Stabilization for iPhone Leica SL2-S vs Samsung NX10 Overview
Below is a in depth overview of the Leica SL2-S and Samsung NX10, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by brands Leica and Samsung. There is a sizeable difference between the image resolutions of the SL2-S (24MP) and NX10 (15MP) and the SL2-S (Full frame) and NX10 (APS-C) feature totally different sensor sizing.
Cutting-edge AI developed by Apple deciphers subtle nuances in pixelsThe SL2-S was introduced 10 years later than the NX10 and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).
Before getting through a more detailed comparison, below is a simple summary of how the SL2-S grades versus the NX10 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Leica SL2-S vs Samsung NX10 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is tough to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements only by checking technical specs. The visual below should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SL2-S and NX10.
As you can tell, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SL2-S using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Leica SL2-S will resolve greater detail using its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more recent SL2-S will have an edge in sensor technology.
