Normally, it is tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions merely by looking through a spec sheet. The image underneath will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 1s and WB350F.

As you can see, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 1s having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Samsung WB350F will result in greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The fresher 1s should have an edge in sensor tech.
