This week's best tech deals include a great exchange offer on the Samsung Galaxy S5, cashback offers on iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3, a Sony home theatre system, and more.

1. Samsung Galaxy S5 exchange offer
Flipkart is offering an exchange deal on the Samsung Galaxy S5 where you can get up to Rs. 8,000 off on your old mobile phone. If you don't mind the previous-generation Galaxy smartphone, and have an old phone you want to get rid of, this might be a decent deal for you. You can grab the Galaxy S5 for as low as Rs. 14,999 which is pretty good considering the normal selling price of Rs. 22,999. Your old mobile phone must be in a working condition, and its IMEI must match the one you enter while ordering the new phone. The exchange process is seamless, your old device will be picked up from your place and a new one is delivered. The discount is instant so there are no cashback waiting periods. At this price, the Galaxy S5 is still a decent smartphone. It comes with a 16MP primary camera, includes a 2800 mAh batter, and the phone is dust and water resistant too.

Price: Rs. 14,999 (with the maximum exchange value)

The iPad Air 2 features a 9.7-inch display, and an 8MP camera at the back. It is powered by Apple's A8X chip along with the M8 motion co-processor. It will run iOS 8 out of the box, and you'll be able to upgrade to iOS 9 once it comes out later this year. Remember, iPad Air 2 supports all major enhancements coming with iOS 9 for the iPad.
