Oftentimes, its difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes just by reading through technical specs. The image here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the GX-20 and NX200.

As you can tell, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Samsung NX200 to give more detail having an extra 5MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged GX-20 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
