The phone will be using compression to make the image smaller. For reference, a completely uncompressed 8 megapixel (3456×2304 resolution) image would take up nearly 23Mb of storage, which is way more than most people would be happy using! So, the reason the actual file size varies is because the compression doesn’t always work as well–some images will be easier to compress than others, usually depending on how much detail is in them.
