Generally, it is very tough to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions just by going over technical specs. The image below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the WB210 and RX100 VII.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The WB210 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Sony RX100 VII will offer extra detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged WB210 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
