Samsung EX2F's 3" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon ELPH 150 IS's 2.7" screen.
Moreover, Samsung EX2F sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over the head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video.

Canon ELPH 150 IS has a 20.0MP 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features Digic 4+ processor. On the other hand, Samsung EX2F has a 12.0MP 1/1.7" (7.44 x 5.58 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor .
Canon ELPH 150 IS's sensor provides 8MP more than Samsung EX2F's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
