We shall characterize the weak nearly uniform smoothness of the \(\psi\)-direct sum \(X \oplus_\psi Y\) of Banach spaces \(X\) and \(Y\). The Schur and WORTH properties will be also characterized. As a consequence we shall see in the \(\ell_\infty\)-sums of Banach spaces there are many examples of Banach spaces with the fixed point property which are not uniformly non-square.
