i miss mine. BUT, the A6500 is an amazing piece of tech. Just the variety of lens options alone would sway me if i was trying to decide between the two

Only if the a6500 had an equivalent 16-50S lens and better touch AF. Everything else is decent in that camera.

...and better battery, ergonomics, user interface, more stable heat dissipation, a native fish eye (my favorite NX lens after the 45mm) lens. The S lens is a unicorn, only one (in NX) exists.

The battery life is terrible in both system. For a full day event I have to bring 3 batteries (and I also keep a backup power bank for safety sake) . The user interface is better on Samsung that is true. Ergonomics not so much. NX500 would have OK ergonomics but it doesn't even has an EVF. And for heat dissipation I would not really trust in my system if it comes to that (actually I had to reset it a few times everything because one or another function "stuck and freeze" - like focus mode. And this only happened in hot enviroment or a very long shooting). The lens selection is still better on the Sony and that will expand latter on. The Samsung won't.

NX500 was 650euros official price almost a a month after was out, there is no comparison with the a6300 which is a 1300euros camera in my country right now. And NX500 does most things better than a6300.

Obviously the small NXes do not have EVF, if you haven't notice that and you bought one, then obviously there is something wrong with your decision making and critical thinking in general, not only cameras. NX500 on the other hand is a breeze to use, unlike a6300 (I mention this camera because it is the newest Sony I used for work recently) which doesn't even have a front wheel (duh..how difficult is to add one front wheel?), and ofcourse no touch screen whatsoever, while the NX's is a masterful implementation, and ofcourse no iFN function, that can choose almost everything with only a couple of turns of your lenses barrels.  NX really has at least 3 ways to do everything, and in NX1 you can have 4 or 5 different ways to adjust things. Truly outstanding.

I am not even mentioning NX1 ergonomics, Sony is far far away from that.

No one ever had any overheating issues with NX. Even when I moded the bitrate of the NX500 I recorded straight for almost 70 minutes (I had to stop because there is a 73 minutes time limit)  on quite warm theaters, or warm summer days (did 3 live events coverage this summer).

I used this summer my NX cameras the hottest day of this year (with the addition of dust from the Sahara desert, it is phenomenon that occurs with much greater tense the last few years, and because of the climate change it will get worst), and recorded straight for 64 minutes. In a much milder September day, we had to use only NX and the GH4, because the a6300 we had was overheating.

I have done a few projects with both NX and Sony cameras, for 2 NX1 and 3 NX500 batteries I had 5-7 batteries for A7ii/a6300. I have only 3 batteries for my NX1, and my co-workers hold 8 for Sonys, just to be sure, and charge every time they can because you are never sure (and for long Greek weddings, that the party stops the next day, it is a nightmare. I have never charge any of these 3 batteries even though I have stop shooting at 7-8 o'clock in the morning in some occasions, not straight 20 hours of course).

..and the lens selection is completely relative, if I wanted EF full frame lenses I would buy a 5D mark III or IV. Everyone is complaining at the Sony forums for not a new native APS-C lens the last 3(?I think it is three) years.
