The question is. Is that node malicious or are they simple nodes from android or mobile devices?

No, they are definitely not genuine nodes. Why would someone set up, so many nodes that act suspiciously all at once? They just keep connecting and disconnecting for no particular reason. In addition to that, this is the secondary time that this happened in this very year (the first time was at the date of creation of this thread).

It's probably only a coincidence, but the source code for the Mirai botnet was released over the weekend at the same time these strange connections to the Bitcoin network started.

I don't think Botnet source code is responsible for this, especially since AWS is involved. As stated above, this isn't the first time that we're dealing with this (check the creation date of the thread).
