Do any of the X00 series come with dual pixel sensors?

No, Fuji uses something called hybrid AF (or "traditional phase detection), only a small part of the sensor (5% or less) has phase detect sensors (adding more would severely impact imaging because you lose light).

It is considerably inferior to dual Pixel AF you find on Canon and on high-end smartphones. Dual pixel AF covers 80% to 100% of the sensor and doesn't impact light gathering capability.

Canon is currently the only camera manufacturer with Dual Pixel AF. All the other manufacturers are large smartphone companies like Samsung, HTC, etc. THe latest S7 and S8 from Samsung have dual pixel AF.
