Can I set-up my new iPhone while my old phone is being backed up by iCloud?

I want to set up my new iPhone 16 but my old iPhone is currently being backed up with iCloud. Am I able to start setting up my new phone? I don't want all my photos transferred onto my new phone due to storage but want all my contacts sent over to my new phone.

iPhone 16, iOS 18
