Android devices offer different storage places, and for some we have special tags:
- device storage: usually referred to as "internal storage" or "phone storage". If your issue is solely about this, please use the internal-storage instead. On your device, this will be used for apps and data, and usually is mounted at
/data. If you get an insufficient-memory (or "storage low") error, it refers to this partition only. - system storage: also referred to as "ROM". This part is mounted read-only at
/system, and holds the Android core system as well as most of the pre-installed apps (see also: bloatware) - internal SDCard: some devices offer a separate internal SDCard, where you can store your own data (such as documents, videos, music files, pictures, etc.). For questions/issues with this, please use the internal-sd tag.
- external SDCard: most devices offer a slot to place a microSD card into. If your question is solely related to this storage, rather use the external-sd tag.
Then there's the ram, of course -- but we don't count that as "storage", as you cannot permanently store data there (and you even don't want to do so, because one never can have enough RAM :)
