Typically, it's tough to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by going through technical specs. The image underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the WB1100F and A7S III.

As you have seen, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The WB1100F featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Samsung WB1100F will produce extra detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged WB1100F will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
