Manjaro suggests soomething called 'MTP' is involved,
perhaps 'Media Transfer Protocol' (?).

Does anyone have any suggestions how to get this to work on Gentoo ?

No KDE nor GNOME here but this works in XFCE:

Note the mtp USE which pulls in:

The phone auto-mounts as soon as you switch Android to 'file transfer' and works well for me, less so for my daughter when she tries to transfer 10's of Gb of videos.
