Sometimes, it is difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements just by going over specifications. The graphic here will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 and NX mini.
To sum up, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 with its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Samsung NX mini will deliver extra detail because of its extra 4.5MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older GXR A16 24-85mm F3.5-5.5 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
