To free up phone storage while keeping your photos accessible, you have several options:

1. **Google Photos or Other Cloud Storage Services**:
- Upload your photos to a cloud storage service like Google Photos, Dropbox, or iCloud. These services offer a certain amount of free storage, and you can purchase more if needed.
- Once your photos are safely stored in the cloud, you can delete them from your phone to free up space.

2. **External SD Card**:
- If your phone supports expandable storage via an SD card, consider getting one with a high capacity. You can move your photos to the SD card, which will effectively increase your available storage.

3. **Selective Backups**:
- Manually go through your photos and select the ones that are most important or meaningful to you. Back up only those, and then delete the rest from your phone.

4. **Delete Duplicates and Unwanted Photos**:
- Go through your photos and delete any duplicates, blurry images, or shots that you no longer need.

5. **Compression Apps**:
- Consider using photo compression apps that can reduce the file size of your images without significantly sacrificing quality.

6. **Transferring to a Computer**:
- Connect your phone to a computer and transfer the photos to your computer's hard drive. You can also consider an external hard drive for extra storage.

7. **Photo Management Apps**:
- There are apps available that can help you organize and manage your photos more efficiently, which can also aid in identifying and deleting unnecessary ones.

8. **Regular Maintenance**:
- Make it a habit to go through your photos every now and then to clear out any new images you no longer need.

Remember to always back up your important data before making any major changes to your phone's storage. This way, you won't risk losing anything valuable.
