IPv6 can boost mobile performance, battery life

I am a little bit worried what this can mean for security if everybody in the InterNet can easily reach every mobile phone.

Well, where there used to be NAT there should now be a carrier-grade firewall. So it probably won't be as bad as a bare connection to the internet.

The only thing lost by losing the NAT is obscurity... which really isn't security. You should still have your firewall in place.

And thanks to the carrier-grade firewall, you have to start wasting your battery on keep-alives again.
