The TG-4 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Samsung Galaxy NX will deliver more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The younger TG-4 should have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
