If the ad had said flash, I would have found it easier to understand.
But it said ROM.
 
For example, it says the the Samsung A05s has 4GB RAM 64GB ROM

Because "ROM" is often used as substitute for "flash memory". People
don't care if this is technically correct, they just need to understand
the difference between RAM used for running apps and any other memory
used to store apps and other data permanently.

But it can lead to misunderstandings -- it certainly did in my case.
