So your phone is a kitchen

Memory(ram) is how much counter space you have. Got a butt ton of Memory(counter space) and you can do a lot of cooking at once.

Storage(HD) is your cabinets/pantry. Got a butt ton of cabinets(Storage) and you have a wider variety of things you can potentially cook

You need 3GB of storage, so that app can comfortably fit in the cabinets
