Often, it is very tough to picture the gap in sensor sizing only by researching technical specs. The graphic here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the A6400 and W810.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The A6400 because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Sony A6400 will result in extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots far more aggressively. The newer A6400 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
