Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate Nikon S6100 and Samsung Galaxy NX side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Nikon S6100 has external dimensions of 98 x 58 x 27 mm (3.86 x 2.28 x 1.06″) and weighs 175 g (0.39 lb / 6.17 oz) (including batteries). Samsung Galaxy NX has external dimensions of 137 x 101 x 26 mm (5.39 x 3.98 x 1.02″) and weighs 495 g (1.09 lb / 17.46 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of Nikon S6100 and Samsung Galaxy NX. Nikon S6100 is 39mm narrower and 43mm shorter than Samsung Galaxy NX but it is also 1mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Nikon S6100 has a built-in lens but Samsung Galaxy NX doesn't. Once you put a lens on Galaxy NX, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon S6100 is significantly lighter (320g ) than the Samsung Galaxy NX which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on Galaxy NX, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Nikon Coolpix S6100 nor Samsung Galaxy NX provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung Galaxy NX's 4.8" LCD screen is slightly larger than Nikon S6100's 3" screen.
