It depends very much on  the phone and on the Android version.

Older Android versions supported only mounting as a USB Mass Storage 
Device, but newer versions support MTP and/or PTP connections. My 
current phone (a Sony running Android 5.1 Lollipop) allows me to choose 
between MTP and Mass Storage, but not all do.

It may be more than settings if the OP has upgraded the Android system 
on his device.

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure my old Samsung phone was 
originally USB MSD but changed to MTP-only with an upgrade (to KitKat?).
