More often than not, its difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements only by reviewing specifications. The graphic underneath might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Q10 and A6400.
To sum up, the two cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Q10 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Sony A6400 will offer more detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The older Q10 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
