Usually, it can be hard to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reviewing specs. The photograph here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-4 and M1.

As you can plainly see, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The TG-4 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF tougher and the YI M1 will offer you more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older TG-4 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
