contents We consider the $f\left( Q\right) $-theory for the description of dark energy with a non-trivial connection defined in the non-coincident gauge. The resulting field equations form a two-scalar-field, quintom-like gravitational model. For the power-law model $f\left( Q\right) \simeq Q^{\frac{n}{n-1}}$, we construct an analytic expression for the dynamical evolution of dark energy, which depends on the parameter $n$. We constrain this dark energy model using the the baryon acoustic oscillations from DESI DR2, and gamma-ray bursts. The cosmological data provides $n\simeq0.33$. The $f\left( Q\right) $-model challenges the $Λ$CDM by providing a smaller value for $χ_{\min}^{2}$. Although the Akaike Information Criterion indicates that the two cosmological models fit the data from the Pantheon+, the cosmic chronometers and the baryonic acoustic oscillators in a similar way, when the gamma-ray bursts are introduced there is weak evidence in favor of the $f\left( Q\right) $-theory.
