This article examines the impact of f ( Q ) gravity parameters on analytical spherically symmetric solutions for compact objects. We employ two distinct metric ansatz to solve the equations of motion in f ( Q ) gravity. To assess the feasibility and reliability of our models, we analyze various physical properties, including pressure, mass function, energy density, stability, adiabatic index, energy conditions, and hydrostatic equilibrium through a graphical framework. Additionally, we demonstrate how the mass-radius relation and stability are influenced by the f ( Q ) theory parameter ξ 1 . To validate our results, we estimate the radii of well-known compact objects, including PSR J0437-4715, 4U 1608-52, 2S 0921-630, SMC X-4, and Her X-1. Our analysis confirms that the obtained isotropic solutions are physically viable and exhibit significant clarity.
