I pretty well have to agree with Buhanan's reply.  I've owned most of the G series since the G3 and am now using the G15.  It's the best G so far, and except for AF speed, is as good as the G16.

If you use a wrist strap of neck cord instead of the supplied neck strap, the camera fits well is a trouser pocket (not jeans, though).  Front to back depth seems to be the prime determinant of pocketability, and at 1.6" the G15/16 is the same depth as the G7X.

Focal length range is the same as the G11, at 28-140 mm, equivalent; but faster.  My G15 is my go-to camera for programs at the schools involving my grandkids and it does a great job at ISO 800 or even 1600.  The RX100 III (or IV) is a nice camera, but a 75 mm lens isn't nearly long enough for most of the plays and school programs.

Check the comparitors at this site and Imaging Resource, and compare the G15/16 to the RX100's.  The G15 holds up very well at higher ISO.  Well enough that I've had no urge to replace it.
