"Most smartphones fall within these limits and will continue to be allowed on board. However, devices larger than these dimensions may not be carried in the cabin," the Department for Transport said.
The additional security measures affect direct flights to the UK from Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia.
A UK government spokesperson said: "Decisions to make changes to our aviation security regime are never taken lightly."
"We will not hesitate to act in order to maintain the safety of the travelling public and we will work closely with our international partners to minimise any disruption these new measures may cause."
The U.S. ban applies to 10 airports in eight Muslim-majority countries.
