Quite often, it can be difficult to visualize the gap in sensor measurements simply by looking through technical specs. The graphic here might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the NX10 and WB150F.

As you have seen, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The NX10 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung NX10 will result in more detail having its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The older NX10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
