The handles are definitely thicker than a standard controller. I tried measuring them, but I don't really have a great tape for that, so using a piece of string then measuring that... that the standard controller is about 13.5cm in circumference vs. 14.7cm for the Portal. I tried to measure it as close to the "top", as close to the joysticks as I could. Personally, I prefer the extra heft... I just wish the joysticks were more of a match for the standard controller. I'm guessing they shrunk them in an effort to save a bit of space by the screen. Kind of dumb if that's why so hopefully there's a better reason for it. An extra half inch in width wouldn't have mattered overall if that's why.
I'm in Canada and the PS Portal is $270 here, so I saved almost $90 CAD after tax. In USD I paid roughly $132. To your point, if it was only $20, I would have bought the new one 👍

Are the handles as thick as the PS5 controller? Hopefully Thinner?
