  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.
