Microsoft Graph API missing some AD-user properties?

I am querying Azure AD with Microsoft Graph API and I need to get AD-properties like "homePhone", "otherPhone" and "description" from users.

I have not seen any explicit mention in the API reference about certain properties being unobtainable, but looking at the user resource type (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/user?view=graph-rest-1.0) there seems to be alot of properties missing.

Am I correct in assuming that these properties can't obtained at the moment?

Azure AD itself doesn't have those attributes, but you can use extension attributes to extend the schema. Do you need to get those information over to Azure AD from on-premises AD? - Jan Hajek
@JanHajek, Yes, and then I need to query them with Microsoft Graph API. - oskar

As @Jan hajek said, All Azure AD Directory object properties are not present in Windows AD objects. There is an alternative solution for this is you need to added a custom attribute on the Group schema on the local AD, and then configured it to sync as an extension property to Azure. Please go through this Directory extensions document.
