Very good.

As far as i know, this is the first Android phone that support IPv6 on
the GSM/UMTS mobile interface.  Previous version of Android phones
supported IPv6 on WiFi and LTE.
My iPhone (old 3G, 4.2.1) supports v6 on wifi (I can see it at the other
end of connections; the
UI status page refuses to admit to ipv6 though.)  It appears to use only
eui64 addresses and not
privacy ones (this from perusing web and mail logs at the server end).

I don't know about any other medium since as far as I can see, AT&T's
network doesn't (yet)
support v6 on umts or gsm/edge :-(
