I wouldn't call the graphics a slim upgrade from SM. Looking at various comparison screenshots/videos of SM, LGPE and SS, I can say there is a significant improvement. @Lixarion posted a good example. If the shadows cast by clouds is any indication, we might even get some dynamic shadow/light effects! Not to mention that there may be surprises and other beautiful areas that are kept hidden for now.
My only gripe is that the Pokemon models don't seem to have had any noteworthy updates so far. I expected that Game Freak would continue to use the models from Gen 6, but I was hoping they would at least update the idle animations and add more movement and life into them. I'm kinda tired of seeing the exact same idle animation for Pikachu since 2013. I take that they probably didn't update the idle animations of the Pokemon affected by Sky Battles either.
