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 NX mini and Nikon 1 J4 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung NX mini has external dimensions of 110 x 62 x 23 mm (4.33 x 2.44 x 0.91″) and weighs 196 g (0.43 lb / 6.91 oz) (including batteries). Nikon 1 J4 has external dimensions of 100 x 60 x 29 mm (3.92 x 2.36 x 1.12″) and weighs 232 g (0.51 lb / 8.18 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung NX mini and the Nikon 1 J4. Nikon 1 J4 is 10mm narrower and 2mm shorter than Samsung NX mini but it is also 6mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Samsung NX mini and Nikon 1 J4.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Samsung NX mini and Nikon 1 J4.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Samsung NX mini is significantly lighter (36g ) than the Nikon 1 J4 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 NX mini and Nikon 1 J4 have the same 1' sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung NX mini nor Nikon 1 J4 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 NX mini and Nikon 1 J4's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Samsung NX mini 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 Nikon 1 J4 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to NX mini.
