Samsung NX200 has a
20.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Sony A6400 has a
24.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Bionz X processor.
Below you can see the NX200 and A6400 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung NX200 and Sony A6400 Cameras
Samsung NX200 and Sony A6400 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the 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 NX200 and Sony A6400 sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that A6400 has a better overall score of 83, 14 points higher compared to NX200's score of 69.

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 NX200
or the
Sony A6400 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
