Found that LEAP 16.0 has completely broken MTP device support due invalid udev rules.
Bug and fix reported here: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1261532
Quick Workaround:
sudo bash
cd /usr/lib/udev/rules.d
find udev | cpio -pvdmn /usr/lib
udevadm control -R
# or rather reboot
Hopefully it will helps affected LEAP 16 users.

Strange. So far I have connected three different Android devices to my desktop with Leap 16 and had no problems at all.
Could you please provide output of these 2 commands?
rpm -q libmtp-udev
rpm -ql libmtp-udev
Here is example of broken package in LEAP 16.0 (nested /udev path):
$ rpm -q libmtp-udev
libmtp-udev-1.1.22-160000.2.2.x86_64
$ rpm -ql libmtp-udev
/usr/lib/udev
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/udev
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/udev/hwdb.d
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/udev/hwdb.d/69-libmtp.hwdb
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/udev/mtp-probe
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/udev/rules.d
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules
And here is output of fixed package from LEAP 16.1 Alpha (no nested /udev):
$ rpm -q libmtp-udev
libmtp-udev-1.1.23-160099.1.2.x86_64
$ rpm -ql libmtp-udev
/usr/lib/udev
/usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d
/usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d/69-libmtp.hwdb
/usr/lib/udev/mtp-probe
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules
Iām curious what output will be in your case.
The only difference is the response to rpm -q libmtp-udev:
libmtp-udev-1.1.23-lp160.128.2.x86_64
The response to rpm -ql libmtp-udev is identical.
