Normally, its hard to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading through a spec sheet. The picture below might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the NX10 and RX100 VII.

Clearly, each of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The NX10 with its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Sony RX100 VII will give you more detail because of its extra 5MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged NX10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
