  I'm sure the 4GB is *RAM*, i.e. main memory (volatile 'storage') not
Internal Storage (permanent, non-volatile storage)!

  So you're comparing apples with oranges.
 
  Your current phone has 1GB RAM, so the upgrade has *4 times* that. So
you pay more to get more, not less.

  See the "Memory and storage" section of your reference:

  Anyway, post a link to the specs and price of the "upgrade" so we know
what we're talking about.
