Samsung NX1 has a 28.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features DRIMe 5 processor. You can shoot at maximum resolution of 6480 x 4320 pixels with aspect ratios of 1:1, 3:2 and 16:9. NX1 has a native ISO range of 100 - 25600 which can be boosted to 51200 and it can save files in RAW format which gives you a wider room for post processing.
Samsung NX1 is not the highest resolution APS-C camera. Fujifilm X-E5 with its 40.0MP sensor is leading in this class. Check the comparison of Samsung NX1 vs Fujifilm X-E5 or take a look at Highest resolution Mirrorless cameras list.
Samsung NX1 DxOMark Sensor Scores
DxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. Samsung NX1 sensor has been tested by DxO Mark and got an overall score of 83 for its image quality. You can find the details of their analysis of Samsung NX1 here.
Anti-Aliasing Filter
Another important feature about Samsung NX1's sensor is the lack of anti-alias (Low-pass) filter. Removing anti-aliasing filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but on the other side it also increases the chance of moiré occurring in certain scenes.
Let's look at how the size of the Samsung NX1's APS-C sensor compares with other standard sensor sizes.

Sensor size is what determines the circle of confusion, and therefore how much
depth of field Samsung NX1 gives you at any given aperture.

at any focal length, aperture and subject distance, including the hyperfocal distance
for landscapes and the very shallow focus zone you get with long telephoto lenses.
