There is a bug affecting Debian (Debian 10 also?) 9 with another DE
than Gnome, that is very similar to your problem:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=928058

I can confirm that I have no problem with Debian 11 & Gnome.

I just tried with my smartphone (Poco X3 Pro, LineageOS 18.1 (Android
11))
(roughly translated, my device is in french)
- With "default USB setup" set as "no data transfer", the smartphone is
recognized as a mass storage device and that's it.
- With "default USB setup" set as "file transfer", the smartphone is at
first recognized as a mass storage device and then gvfsd recognizes it
as a MTP device

So I was wrong in thinking that a modern Android smartphone presents
itself as a mass storage device and pretends to use the USB mass
storage protocol: it presents itself as a mass storage device, and,
depending on the setup of the device, pretends (or not) to use the MTP
protocol 

A possibility could be that you use a GTK Desktop Environment (but not
Gnome) or some GTK applications that rely on gvfsd, because your
previous error message was:
[...]
> I always get "Could not display mtp://X" error no such interface 
> 'org.gtk.vfs.mount' on object at path /org/gtk/vfs/mount/1"
[...]
and that seems to link to gvfsd:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gvfs/doc

I would verify that the gvfs-backends package is installed and if it is
the case, I would verify that there is a org.gtk.vfs.mount key with a
correct value in the dconf database (via dconf-cli (CLI) or dconf-
editor (GUI))

Hello,

I would say that your PC does not recognize your smartphone as a MTP
device because your smartphone dose not presents itself as a MTP device

Your smartphone seems to be seen (because it is set up as such in
Android) as a USB mass storage device: then either:
- use programs in Linux that do not rely on the MTP protocol and manage
your smartphone as a USB mass storage device
- or if you want to use Linux programs that rely on MTP protocol, set
up your smartphone to use the PTP protocol (MTP is an extension of PTP,
that should be OK) as the default mode of any USB connection:

Do you have mtp-tools installed? I found that mounting my phone got a
lot more reliable after I installed that package.
