All in all, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony A6400 to give greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged Galaxy NX is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
