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

Steve seems to have forgotten but his original link
https://www.phonemore.com/specs/samsung/galaxy-a2-core/sm-a260f/
 
Says  RAM: 1GB
      ROM: 8GB / 16GB*
 
Of course phonemore is not Samsung or Gsmarena.  I don't know who pays
for it or why they have it.  I don't think they're getting rich on their
advertising.   For that matter, I don't know who pays for gsmarena.

  As I have said before, the phonemore.com page for the Samsung A2 Core
(SM-A260F) indeed says "ROM: 8GB / 16GB*", but it *also* and very
*clearly* says:

"Memory and storage

 RAM memory 1GB LPDDR3

 Internal storage 16GB (12GB available)
eMMC 5.1

 External storage V Until 256GB microSD, microSDXC
(dedicated slot)"

  So someone who pays a tiny bit of attention, sees that the phone has
16GB of Internal Storage. Never mind incorrect/misleading terms like
"ROM", "flash", etc..

  BTW, Carlos looked at a different site (gsmarena.com instead of
phonemore.com), a different brand (Realme instead of Samsung) and a
totally different category of phone.
