As you can see, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The NX1 because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Samsung NX1 will deliver extra detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more modern NX1 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
