Typically, it is hard to visualize the difference between sensor sizes merely by reading through technical specs. The picture here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the NX300M and W330.

As you can tell, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The NX300M with its bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Samsung NX300M will give extra detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The fresher NX300M should have an advantage in sensor technology.
