Sometimes, it is tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements merely by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic here will give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Galaxy NX and HX90V.

As you can see, each of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Galaxy NX because of its bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Samsung Galaxy NX will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The older Galaxy NX will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
