Quite often, it's hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by reviewing specs. The picture here will give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX20 and ST95.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The NX20 because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Samsung NX20 will offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern NX20 should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
