Like I said, if you zoom in on shape layers, they appear pixelated. It's one of the blatant drawbacks of using Photoshop, a raster graphic editing program, for vectors. It does have vectoring capabilities, but not all the features that Illustrator and Inkscape do. To get the top one to look like the bottom, you have to resize it up instead of zooming in.
More like vector capabilities, I would consider that re-trace capabilities. Photoshop itself goes against the definition of vector graphics

Raster-based image editors, such as Photoshop and GIMP, revolve around editing pixels, unlike vector-based image editors, such as CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, or Inkscape, which revolve around editing lines and shapes (vectors).
