Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony A3000 is significantly lighter (84g ) than the Samsung Galaxy NX 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 Samsung Galaxy NX and Sony A3000 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 Samsung Galaxy NX nor Sony Alpha A3000 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 NX's 4.80" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony A3000's 3 screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
