We investigate late-time cosmic acceleration within the framework of f(Q) gravity supplemented by a phenomenological nonlinear equation of state of the form p=Aρ-Bρ. Adopting a power-law ansatz f(Q)=γ,(Q/Q0)n, we derive analytic expressions for the energy density and Hubble function and confront the model with a combined dataset consisting of CC, SNIa, BAO, quasar, and GRB observations covering 0.106
