I had a dead pixel on my previous phone. single dead pixel. it was visible the entire team especially watching movies with dark scenes etc.

It’s true that the F4 was a mere refresh of the F3 (the chipset was the same), but that was during a time of worldwide chip shortage and many OEMs were struggling in the mid-range segment. So they ended up doing similar refreshes (some Samsung A series phones were even weaker than the previous ones in the series, at that time).
And, since the top Redmi Note 13 phones got 1220p displays (the F5 Pro even has a 1440p display), it is fair to expect a better screen in the F6, higher touch sampling (even the F4 was superior to the F5 in this regard), a slightly better camera and an even better Snapdragon 7 series chipset, perhaps based on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
Also, Google is seriously upping the ante in the software support department (starting with the Pixel 8 series), Samsung has started to offer better software support on its A series and even Xiaomi is slowly getting better in this department (not to mention other chinese brands). So, perhaps, the next Poco F series will also see a welcomed software support increase.
These are all things worth putting in the balance when deciding if one should wait for the F6 or not. Once the Redmi Note 13 Turbo will be launched in China (probably early next year), we will have a much better idea of how many of these things will be implemented and if they are worth the wait.

When will we ever move on from this when we only keep on talking about it ?
There is already X4 and X5 with no issues like the motherboard on x3 pro that was mostly only in India and not in other markets. So it maybe was just a one factory defect that where the phone was made.
There have been a lot worse things with premium brands with high price point phones in the past but we dont talk about it in every of there comments like that is something you can be sure that will happen.
Also Poco X series started with as X2 and then one year later it was X3 and X3 Pro.
I would say that it's not a bad thing when the mistakes happen in first 3 years of the new brand and then dont happen again.
Think of Samsung with exploding batteries on a top end flagship that basically happened when the brand was doing phones for like 20 years so they got so lax that made the type of mistake that actually harmed people and then there battery technology got banned from planes. Having a motherboard issue is really not so big of a deal if you think about it. Also i remember that iphones use to get fat with there batteries.
It's a lot worse when phone cost in the 800 euro range then it happens in the budget range as X3 Pro was a phone that cost 240 euro.

Also we are still like 1 months to half a year of this phone release.
I can say even 4 months as it takes time for the phone release in countries that this phone end up with.
Waiting 7-8 months now for next big thing then i dont think it's worth it.
Never mind that F6 maybe just a little upgrade just like we had Poco F3 that was awesome and then come F4 that was pretty much camera change and faster charger

You probably dont understand the anonymous word meaning when writing something this dumb.
To be honest i think i went against rules in this site for saying even this much. To elaborate the word anonymous to a real person then explaining what is needed for valid person will go against the rules probably.
All i need for account here is nickname, e-mail and password and thats it

It's slow progress but worth it when you have less clue behind and no paper thanks to that. If you have one low layer of paper left behind then it's ruined

hopefully it'll come down around 260USD (21K INR), for that price it is incredible value for money (motherboard issues aren't present in f series, and yeah, some x3 pro has it but not every x3 pro)

However, we are almost halfway between the release of the F5 and the release of the F6 (if they keep the same schedule). So, if you can wait a few more months, you might get an even better performer (possibly, 1220p screen and longer software support, a better camera).
