You cannot buy more storage for an iPhone; you can only buy more iCloud storage and that can only help in a very limited way with a shortage of space on a phone. The 5.1 of 200 is iCloud storage. Information about storage on your phone is at Settings > General > iPhone Storage. See the following for more information that may help: What's the difference between device storage and iCloud storage? - Apple Support
