Quite often, it is very difficult to visualize the gap between sensor measurements purely by going over technical specs. The visual here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the S220 and WB150F.

As you have seen, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Samsung WB150F to offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older S220 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
