If you missed the fanfare in December, here's a recap:
Samsung's goal with the NX series was to introduce a DSLR-sized sensor, in this case APS-C, that's actually a bit larger than the one found in Micro Four Thirds (http://gizmodo.com/tag/microfourthirds/). Then they went and put that sensor in a body that's smaller than a traditional DSLR, and... If this is giving anyone déjÃ* vu, it's probably because this is the same idea behind the aforementioned Micro Four Thirds camera format.
Also making it into the final body are 720p HD video functionality (H.264 codec) and a 3.0-inch AMOLED viewscreen in the rear:

All this with a promised lower power consumption and higher contrast ratio at 10,000:1.
A few more of the specs, provided by Samsung:

View Finder - Electronic viewfinder

Dust reduction - Supersonic Type
Special Features - APS-C sized image sensor, 3.0" AMOLED, Smart Range, HDMI (Anynet +), Fast &, Decisive Contrast AF, New DRIMe II Pro engine and advanced AF algorithm

The body comes in black and also Titan Silver, a color we didn't know about before. Maybe the new color will make Matt change his mind about the looks (http://gizmodo.com/5431519/samsung-nx+10-hybrid-camera-cause-the-world-needed-another-camera-format). Probably not.
