Sony Corp., seeking to counter a slowdown in its smartphone business, introduced a top-end Xperia phone and a cheaper model to take share in a market that has become increasingly crowded.

The Xperia Z2 combines 4K high-definition video recording, inbuilt noise reduction and a 5.2-inch (13.2 centimeter) display and will start shipping next month, Kunimasa Suzuki, head of Sony Mobile Communications, said yesterday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Sony also updated its Xperia tablet and showed the Xperia M2 phone with lower specifications.
