The real question is whether there's another way to identify what a kind of
device it is.

Androids see to be mtp devices if you want to mount them as a file
system. Linux has some obscure command to mount such things. I forget
what.

They aren't USB storage devices. At least, mine wasn't.

If you don't want to mount it, you use adb to access it.

At least, mtp and adb are the official ways to access them.
Have things changed?
