Mobile surpassed Vita performance years ago.

Vita itself uses a mobile chip, of the same family as the iPad 3, which launched in early 2012. Naturally, Vita exclusives will be more optimised for that chip than most mobile games, but chips have come so far in the last 4 years that optimization just can't make up the difference.

A similar budgeted game on mobile looks worse then Vita games though... And the Vita is weaker then the PS3.

Looking better or worse is a matter of opinion. Technically speaking though, Vita is a mobile chip from 2011 and modern mobile tech runs circles around it.

Chips like the Tegra X1 outperform the PS3, much less the Vita.
