Generally, it is tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes simply by reading through technical specs. The image here will provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the S02 and TX10.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S02 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Sony TX10 will give greater detail with its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more recent S02 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
