TOKYO—Sony Corp. reported better-than-expected quarterly profit thanks to strong demand for its smartphone camera sensors, a result that may invite further pressure from activist investor Daniel Loeb to spin off the unit. Sony said Wednesday its net profit during the July-September period rose 9% from a year ago to ¥188 billion ($1.7 billion), beating analyst expectations.
