Quite often, it's tough to visualize the difference between sensor measurements only by going over specifications. The visual below may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the WB150F and A9 II.

To sum up, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The WB150F due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony A9 II will deliver more detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The older WB150F is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
