More often than not, its difficult to envision the difference between sensor measurements simply by reviewing specifications. The visual underneath will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the X2 and DP2s.

To sum up, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Leica X2 to deliver extra detail having its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The fresher X2 will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
