In Settings, General, iPhone storage .

Display all recommendations and study them including emptying Recently Deleted album.

Consider importing photos to computer and syncing back (they're half size when sync'd)

If you have unlimited wifi and want to buy some monthly icloud storage consider iCloud Photos.

If your “Other” storage is more than 10GB then come back for more help. 

 

 Managing iCloud storage and what is the difference between device storage and iCloud storage?

You bought iCloud storage space so move some of your data there.
