Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony HX7V is significantly lighter (92g ) than the Samsung Galaxy Camera which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX7V nor Samsung Galaxy Camera (Wi-Fi) provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung Galaxy Camera's 4.80" LCD screen is slightly larger than Sony HX7V's 3" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
