The official claim though is that the photosensitive area of each pixel is still the same though, so at 100% zoom things shouldn't be very different, but the overall noise in the image should seem less when viewing the images at the same size rather than same zoom level. Of course I haven't put the sensors under a microscope myself though. ^_^

Neither have I. I didn't know about that claim. But it's not surprising because they are able to get 0.3 stops more out of NX1's pixel compared to NX20's pixel. (Additional 0.5 stop gain from pixel count increase to get total improvement of 0.8 stops.)
