To sum up, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Galaxy NX due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Sony A7 II will offer you more detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged Galaxy NX is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
