Samsung NX30 has a
20.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DRIMeIV processor. On the other hand, Sony A6500 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 NX30 and A6500 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung NX30 and Sony A6500 Cameras
Samsung NX30 and Sony A6500 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 NX30 and Sony A6500 sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that A6500 has a better overall score of 85, 8 points higher compared to NX30's score of 77.

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 NX30
or the
Sony A6500 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
