The NX10 was introduced 4 years earlier than the NX300 which is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Samsung NX10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung NX300 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting into a in depth comparison, here is a brief view of how the NX10 matches up vs the NX300 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Sometimes, it is tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes only by going over a spec sheet. The picture below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX10 and NX300.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Samsung NX300 to offer you greater detail using its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged NX10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
