Typically, it can be hard to visualise the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading a spec sheet. The visual underneath may give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the GX-1S and WB50F.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The GX-1S due to its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Samsung WB50F will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older GX-1S is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
