If you had iCloud Photos turned on in your old phone and your photos are on iCloud, you can turn on iCloud Photos on the new phone (Settings > [username] > iCloud > Photos > iCloud Photos) and the photos will sync to it. More information: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support


If you didn't have iCloud Photos turned on in the old phone but do have an iCloud Backup, you can use the backup to set up the new phone. See: iCloud: Restore or set up iOS devices from an iCloud backup
