Typically, its hard to picture the gap in sensor dimensions purely by researching specifications. The picture here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and NX1.

Plainly, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The GH5S featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh harder and the Samsung NX1 will render greater detail utilizing its extra 18 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images way more aggressively. The fresher GH5S should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
