I have a TCL Flip 2. I love it. I've been using it for almost a year now. I just bought a new motorcycle, 2026 Triumph Trident 660, and I want to use the Triumph app for navigation and music. Obviously, I cannot do this with the phone I currently have. I'm curious if any of you know of a phone for about ~$200 or less that has enough of the android OS to install regular apps like the My Triumph App but still work very simply like my flip phone with physical buttons. As far as I can tell this doesn't exist, but maybe somebody here has seen such a marvel of engineering.

If I am going to get a phone that has access to Android's regular app store then I would also use the following apps in addition to My Triumph:
Google Maps (navigation with My Triumph)
Wiz (controlling rgb interior lights in house)
Rippling (sign in/out at work)
DoorDash (Maybe I'll run DoorDash just to have an excuse to ride more)
There's probably some other utility type app but you get the point.

Are there any flip phones that exist that can do what I'm wanting to do with a phone? If not, I'll probably buy the Moto G Power - 2026 and lock it down. I'll suffer without the simplicity of a flip phone as my sole daily driver, but it'll do all these other useful things. If I could use my new motorcycle to it's fullest without buying a new phone, I would.
