Often, it is difficult to imagine the gap between sensor measurements just by reading technical specs. The visual underneath might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the NX10 and RX100 VI.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The NX10 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Sony RX100 VI will offer more detail having an extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older NX10 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
