The sensitivity is actually the same. Your not increasing the QE, but increasing the total output signal by adding all 4 pixel wells together.
Each pixel can still only convert a photon to electrical charge on the same efficiency (QE), but its all combined to make a "Super" pixel with a larger combined charge, that will produce images faster.
