The ones that I can afford offer 4-6 GB of storage, which is less than
the 16GB in the phone I have.

   The 4-6GB is clearly *RAM*, not (permanent) Internal Storage. I've
replied to Steve about that mixup.

I assumed that the ROM contained the operating system and apps that
were factory-installed, and that it would not be available for apps
that are downloaded and installed later, since it is "read-only" and
therefore could not be subsequently written to.

The link you posted <hayesstw@yahoo.com> does not mention ROM, for instance.

It is RAM and Flash. Your advert doesn't even say flash, but it is flash.

 If the ad had said flash, I would have found it easier to understand.
But it said ROM.

I searched for the word "ROM" in the entire page <https://www.gsmarena.com/realme_note_50-12799.php> and it just does not happen.

 For example, it says the the Samsung A05s has 4GB RAM 64GB ROM

Link, please.
