No you do not have enough available storage to Download and Install the iOS update. As you can see that the total available space on your iPhone is 3.7 GB. Out of which, 3.1GB is used to download the iOS update file. This leaves a balance of 0.6GB. You need 1.83GB of available storage space (after the download) to install the iOS update. This is the reason you are getting the low storage space notification.

Free up at least 6GB - 8GB of storage space on your iPhone and then try the update process again.
