It really isn't ROM and then should not be calling it that. It's
actually pretty bad, it seems they aren't the only company that's
gone wrong here. ROM is Read Only Memory. It's either programmed
by mask at the factory or field programmed one time. The latter isn't
used anymore, it's been replaced long ago by Flash. ROM can't be
changed. What these phones use are Flash and I believe like you do
that what they are calling ROM is really Flash Memory. It holds the
OS, apps, data, pics, etc. But they should either call it Flash
or else refer to it as internal storage.

EPROM can be flashed. Things have changed over recent times.

OP could have bought a 32GB phone with internal memory and not need a
SD Card.
