If your photos are in iCloud Photos, turn on iCloud Photos on the new phone (using the same Apple ID) and the photos will automatically sync with it. See: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support


If they are not in iCloud Photos but you do have an iCloud Backup, you can setup/restore the entire phone (not just photos) using the backup. Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
