Resolution and sharpness are not quite the same thing.

The resolution of the sensor in the fpL is 61 Megapixels. How much of that is used in the image depends on the lens, and on focussing and camera shake.

Sharpness can be raised by using software such as Topaz Sharpen.

Of course I know these things already, but any sharpening software can only be as good as the original photo allows it. Yes, today there is AI sharpening, which could "rescue" a photo, but again within certain limits/parameters.

Well, to an extent, but for simple stuff like fixing a slightly blurred image (i.e. OOF) de-convolution can improve captured sharpness before AI got popular.

And not forgetting the very useful Contrast By Detail Levels (from same link):
