Experiencing the same.

Trying to browse my phone `dcim` folder via kdeconnect causes dolphin to
freeze. The whole of dolphin, not just the tab used to browse the phone.

The freeze at times comes to an end: this is when dolphin has succeeded getting
enough data from the phone to provide the thumbnails for all the files in the
folder. In other cases, it gets permanent.

It is unclear to me if the issue here is just in dolphin or in kde connect or
both.

Dolphin does not appear to use any particular protocol to access stuff via
kdeconnect: its url line points to a local folder in `/run` when browsing the
device. At the same time, kde connect appears to be mounting a filesystem there
via fuse.sshfs. This filesystem appears to be quite problematic: if you try to
look at it from the shell, you get input/output errors.

I would say that on one hand kde connect fails to provide a reliable filesystem
for dolphin to work on. On the other hand dolphin does not at all deal
gracefully with low performance filesystems.
