Google photos on android does this to some degree. It suggests cleaning up space by deleting all backed up photos. You can pin photos to keep them on the phone.

I got an S8 in April and between 4k video and shooting in raw I was able to hit 40 gigs a few weeks ago. It is nice to be able to have it all stored off the phone at full rez.

I did have one issue over the 4th. I visited family who did not have wifi and had a heated ceiling which consisted of a few thousand feet of copper cabling. We were 2000ft from a 4g tower but the wires made a decent faraday cage so I had to go outside to show them family photos. I doubt anyone will have the same issue but it did show me what the photos app would feel like without cell data.
