You'd have to specify a set of criteria to test. I just treat
/media/samsungd like any other filesystem, copying files in the
usual manner. As mentioned in:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol

the phone screens are operable while connected (though I haven't
tested making calls), file modification timestamps are only preserved
phone→PC, not the other way, and you don't have to worry about pulling
the plug before unmounting.

In contrast, older phones that use MSC are inoperable as the screen is
locked, with a warning not to physically disconnect until a button has
been tapped.

Cheers,
David.
