Would it have the same controls? Yes, make it a slide open type of device with all the same dual analog buttons touch etc.

With that change, pretty much everything else would be able to remain as is, including raw power.

A Playstation Vita Phone with a 5inch OLED screen and a slide out gamepad with even the most advanced current cell phone battery would be thicker than the PS Vita already is and would probably have at _max_ 1 hour of playable time before you either had to plug it back in or forgo being able to take calls throughout the day.

Not only is it not practical it would just plain not be anywhere as good as the PS Vita is. It would have to sacrifice something and I for one would skip it. I do not believe we could have everything we have now with the PS Vita and add in it being a smart phone.

I don't understand part of your logic.

Yes the form factor would be smaller in width, same in depth, and larger in thickness. That's obvious but not a detraction in any way, IMO.

The battery/play time would be identical. The Vita has a 2200mAh battery and that is already a battery common in phones as either stock or optional. My Galaxy Nexus phone has a 1850mAh and an optional 2000mAh that barely affects its thickness. The Razr Maxx comes stock with a 3300mAh battery.

I think too many of you just don't know enough about mobile phones and their current tech. Vita will be outaded by smartphones by next year. (This comment is to a lot more posters in this thread that just the one I'm quoting.)
