Yup, they aren't even close to the same size.

The smith is definitely smaller. But somehow it manages to have a longer grip at both the front and back strap, which then also allows a higher hold and a lower bore axis.

I bought my G42 wanting to love it. I had been shooting almost exclusively Glocks and 1911s for 20+ years at that point. But it sucked. The gun now is better, the horrible trigger stacking has been fixed. But it's still big for what it holds. And it shoots very well. In fact it's the second best shooting micro 380 there is. After the Bodyguard.
