Yes, in this scenario it does mean "color." I believe they use the word "finishes" to make it sound fancier and more appealing to their audience. The word "finish" is usually applied to furniture, not phones. "Finish" is almost like a coating that is applied at the end of painting or staining to make furniture look shiny or glossy. Ex: The finish on the desk was absolutely beautiful. Ex: They used a glossy finish on the refurbished chair.
