To sum up, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The NX mini featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Samsung NX mini will resolve more detail having its extra 0.5MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent NX mini should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
