Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G9 X nor Samsung Galaxy Camera (Wi-Fi) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung Galaxy Camera's 4.80" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon G9 X's 3 screen.
