To sum up, both of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G85 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Samsung Galaxy NX will provide you with extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The younger G85 will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
