Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.

Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Samsung WB250F nor Pentax MX-1 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections: Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing
LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung WB250F and Pentax MX-1's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Pentax MX-1 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 Samsung WB250F has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to MX-1.
