Both Samsung NX1100 and Samsung NX300 have APS-C sized 20.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Below you can see the NX1100 and NX300 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung NX1100 and Samsung NX300 Cameras
Samsung NX1100 and Samsung NX300 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
DxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. It scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Samsung NX1100 and Samsung NX300 sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that NX300 has a better overall score of 76, 3 points higher compared to NX1100's score of 73.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Samsung NX1100
or the
Samsung NX300 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
