Generally, it is difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The image below might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the NX11 and A7c.

As you can see, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The NX11 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony A7c will give greater detail with its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged NX11 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
