--- Comment #11 from Claudio <dev.worsening067 at passinbox.com> ---
I am facing the same issue. In My case I'm using 3 different devices (Samsung
S10 and S24, and Xiaomi A1) the Xiaomi works correctly, i.e. I plug it to the
USB and the system tray correctly shows the name (Mi A1) whereas the samsung
devices show just as Portable Media Player.

I'd like to point out that in KDE Dolphin, when I connect the xiaomi device, it
shows up in the Devices section, whereas the samsung devices do not show up. 

With the Xiaomi device connected, if I click on it in the Devices section in
Dolphin, and then I edit the address bar, the url looks like:
mtp:udi=/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-4/

With any of the Samsung devices connected, they don't show up in the Devices
section and If I try to access it from the System Tray Disk & Devices applet,
journalctl logs show this:
plasmashell[3233]: org.kde.applets.devicenotifier:
DeviceServiceAction::execute: 
"/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-4"  is not a
StorageAccess device
systemd[2756]: Started Dolphin - File Manager.
systemd[2756]: Started Dolphin - File Manager.
This line above is duplicated in the log, not my mistake and I can see dolphin
starting up 2 times and closing one instance.

Having said all that, found a workaround.
With the Samsung device connected:
Open Dolphin and manually edit the address bar and type mtp:///
it will list all mtp connected devices
from then on you can browse the android device as normal.
