Sometimes, it is hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes only by reading through specifications. The image here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the TL100 and TX1.
Plainly, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The TL100 due to its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung TL100 will give more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images more aggressively. The more aged TL100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
