Plainly, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The NX mini with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Samsung NX mini will provide you with greater detail with its extra 6.5MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more recent NX mini should have an edge in sensor innovation.
