Oftentimes, it's tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements only by checking a spec sheet. The visual here should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the NX210 and A7c.

As you can see, both of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The NX210 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh more difficult and the Sony A7c will give extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a little more aggressively. The older NX210 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
