Phone storage is different than iCloud Storage. Even if you use iCloud Photos on your phone, the photos still take up space on the device.

iCloud is not for off device storage. It doesn’t work that way. iCloud is for backups and it keeps documents, calendar events, reminders, notes, etc. in sync across devices.
