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

 
Can you post a link? 4-6 GB isn't enough to install Android so I find that
hard to believe.

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

The terminology in the ads is not very clear, thank you for your
clarifications.

They refer to RAM and ROM.

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.

with a whopping 1GB (if that) being 'free' for additional apps, etc.!
