So what here do you think is suspicious?

Also why do you think your phone has malware (to be pedantic Android malware is mostly trojans and none of it is technically a virus)? It may be that someone can give a better answer by considering the behaviour that concerns you, if we knew what that was.

Hi, I believe that all of these with 'connected' I don't really know what it is, I'm afraid this is some backdoor or worse, I need to know if this is normal or not.

Grateful for the answer

Highly unlikely. First, the primary purpose of malware is to steal personal data. It would be mostly invisible to the user until the bad actor used it against them. What most people think is a "virus" because they see unusual activity is either simply misunderstanding how mobile phones work, or their account(s) linked to the device has been compromised.

What your image shows are Android (linux/unix) process numbers and activity. It could simply be the phone polling the mobile network towers to maintain connectivity. Without knowing what processes those numbers refer to, it would be impossible to tell if it's malicious. If it's just that there's a lot of network activity, that is normal.
