The phone comes in Icelandic White, Midnight Black, and Sapphire Blue colour options.

In contrast, the Honor 20i was launched in China in four variants. It was made available in Gradient Red, Gradient Blue, and Magic Night Black. The 4GB+128GB model is priced at CNY 1,599 (roughly Rs. 16,600), the 6GB+64GB model is priced at CNY 1,599 (roughly Rs. 16,600), the 6GB+128GB model is priced at CNY 1,899 (roughly Rs. 19,700), the 6GB+256GB model is priced at CNY 2,199 (roughly Rs. 22,800), and the AAPE Edition is priced at CNY 2,199 (roughly Rs. 22,800).
