Will Google save my pictures and videos if I reinstall my mobile phone and DO NOT turn on back-up and sync?

On my mobile phone in the Google Photos app it is always nicely listed when I took which pictures and videos.

If I reinstall my mobile phone and log in with the same Google account that I used to take my pictures and videos after the reinstallation, will my pictures and videos still be listed in Google Photos? Even if I left Back-Up and Sync OFF in Google Photos?

What alternatives are there to Google Back-Up and Sync? I transported everything to my laptop, but when I transfer the pictures and vids to my mobile phone after reinstalling them on my mobile phone, they are no longer sorted by date like with Google Photos, right?

They will probably be saved on your phone.
