As Andy mentioned, 16GB Internal Storage is indeed very/too small these days. And while a (Micro) SD-card helps somewhat, most apps can not be moved to the SD-card or at best only partially. Sometimes even the apps' data can not be moved to the SD-card. I have an old Samsung 10.1" tablet (with Android 5.0.2) also with 16GB (and SD-card), so I know where you're coming from. As to getting a new phone from your "service provider". I would never do that. I would just buy the phone and have a SIM-only contract or pre-paid. Or don't you have those options in your country (SA?)? As to which phone: As you have experience with a Samsung phone, I would go for one of their A-Series phones which 1) you can afford and 2) has 'plenty' of Internal Storage, 128GB or more, and preferably also a SD-card slot. FYI, my current phone is a four year old Samsung Galaxy A51 phone with 128GB (of which 58GB still available), dual-SIM and SD-card slot.
