Sometimes, it's tough to imagine the difference in sensor measurements only by seeing technical specs. The graphic here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Z50 and GF6.

As you can tell, the two cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Z50 because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Nikon Z50 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The younger Z50 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
