Both Samsung NX30 and Canon R6 have 20.0 MP resolution sensors but Samsung NX30's sensor is APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) and Canon R6's sensor is Full frame (36 x 24 mm ).
Since Canon R6's has a larger sensor area with the same resolution, this means that it also has a larger pixel area hence better light collecting capacity for a given aperture compared to Samsung NX30.
One other difference between these two cameras that is worth mentioning is that Canon R6's sensor doesn't have an anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.
Below you can see the NX30 and R6 sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung NX30 and Canon R6 Cameras
As seen above, Canon R6 has a 2.3x Larger sensor area than Samsung NX30. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in 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 NX30 and Canon R6 sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that R6 has a better overall score of 90, 13 points higher compared to NX30's score of 77.
