Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Fujifilm X-A5 and Samsung NX1100 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm X-A5 has external dimensions of 117 x 68 x 40 mm (4.61 x 2.68 x 1.57″) and weighs 361 g (0.80 lb / 12.73 oz) (including batteries). Samsung NX1100 has external dimensions of 114 x 63 x 37 mm (4.49 x 2.48 x 1.46″) and weighs 222 g (0.49 lb / 7.83 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm X-A5 and the Samsung NX1100. Samsung NX1100 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 3mm narrower, 5mm shorter and 3mm thinner than Fujifilm X-A5.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Fujifilm X-A5 and Samsung NX1100.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm X-A5 and Samsung NX1100.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX1100 is significantly lighter (139g ) than the Fujifilm X-A5 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Fujifilm X-A5 and Samsung NX1100 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Fujifilm X-A5 nor Samsung NX1100 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
Fujifilm X-A5 and Samsung NX1100's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Fujifilm X-A5 features a
Tilting screen where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels whereas the Samsung NX1100 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-A5.
