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 Samsung Galaxy NX and Canon G1 X III side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. 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). Canon G1 X III has external dimensions of 115 x 78 x 51 mm (4.53 x 3.07 x 2.01″) and weighs 399 g (0.88 lb / 14.07 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung Galaxy NX and the Canon G1 X III. Canon G1 X III is 22mm narrower and 23mm shorter than Samsung Galaxy NX but it is also 25mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Canon G1 X III 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.
Canon G1 X III is significantly lighter (96g ) 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
Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the G1 X III, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the Galaxy NX.
