Why is the file size of my photo less than 2MP when the camera is 8MP? (iphone 6)

Apple says it uploads the high quality image to icloud and keeps an optimised image on the phone. But looking at the metadata, both have small file sizes. The camera is supposed to be an 8MP, how come the "high quality" image is so much lower?

Thanks

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4, null
