If you had iCloud Photos turned on in the previous phone, turn on the same setting (Settings > [username] > iCloud > Photos > iCloud Photos) in the new phone (assuming you are using the same Apple ID for iCloud) and they will automatically sync to it. More details: 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, use the backup to set up the new phone: Transfer content from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
