In this case, ROM is a dumb and incorrect term. It isn't Read-Only Memory, because it's Internal Storage, so - besides the operating system and factory-installed apps - is stores additional apps and data. (BTW, also part which stores the operating system and factory-installed apps can be written/re-written, so also that part is not 'ROM'.) Some people/sources call it flash-memory, but I think that's a bad term as well, because it describes the technology, instead of what it does/is. Your new reference (<https://www.gsmarena.com/realme_note_50-12799.php>) says "storage" and "Internal". Those are the normally used terms, i.e. "Storage" and "Internal Storage". [...]
